Festival of Entrepreneurs | 3–4 November 2026 | NEC Birmingham
A commercial opportunity to reach 5,000 decision-makers in growing UK
businesses — combining lead generation, brand positioning and speaking
opportunities
Hi Bob
The Festival of Entrepreneurs is built around a simple idea — bringing
together business owners actively investing in growth, and the companies
that help them do it.
For exhibitors, it’s a direct commercial opportunity.
You’re in the room with decision-makers — and positioned on the speaker
agenda within your area of expertise.
How companies are using the event:
* Generating qualified leads from SME business owners
* Positioning their brand alongside recognised founders and operators
* Speaking within the agenda to engage a targeted audience
* Building relationships with businesses actively looking to grow
We’re forecasting 5,000 attendees and 200 speakers across four stages,
covering funding, tech & AI, marketing, and people & leadership.
The visitors are business owners and senior decision-makers, typically in
businesses turning over £500k–£10m+, looking for ways to scale.
If you’re targeting growing SME businesses, this puts you directly in front
of them.

relevant to their market.

Harpin, with more being added.

2025 Exhibitor feedback:
"We exhibited at last year's Festival of Entrepreneurs and picked up many
leads for our fractional c-suite services, so this is a highly recommended
event"
John Courtney CEO, Boardroom Advisors
“Festival of Entrepreneurs was a fantastic event for Strategus Consulting.
It was great to meet so many entrepreneurs and founders and hear their
ambitions.
Follow up has also been excellent, with over 85,000 people viewing our FOE
related episodes of the Leaders in Strategy Podcast. We will be back in 2026
with a much bigger stand and look forward to supporting more entrepreneurs
to scale up their businesses.”
Mike Harris, CEO of Strategus Consulting
