Festival of Entrepreneurs | 3–4 November 2026 | NEC Birmingham
The programme is now largely written and more speakers are being allocated
each week.
Hi Bob
Founders choose events based on the challenges they are trying to solve.
That is one of the reasons we invest so heavily in the content programme.
The 2026 Festival agenda focuses heavily on funding, technology, customer
growth, leadership and business performance because these are the issues
business owners repeatedly tell us they are focused on.
The programme acts as a filter.
A founder looking at sessions on funding, AI, sales systems, customer
acquisition and leadership is very often running a business that is actively
investing in growth.
For exhibitors, the distinction is important.
The conversations taking place across the Festival are not theoretical. They
are centred around raising capital, improving productivity, acquiring
customers, building teams and preparing businesses for the next stage of
growth.
Many exhibitors choose to complement their stand with speaking
opportunities, allowing them to contribute directly to the discussions their
prospective customers are already engaged in.
There are still a limited number of speaker and panel opportunities
available across the programme.
If your customers are founder-led businesses turning over up to £10m and
investing in growth, we'd be delighted to show you the opportunities
available.
