Festival of Entrepreneurs | 3–4 November 2026 | NEC Birmingham
The biggest opportunities still start with a conversation
Technology continues to change how we market, sell and communicate. Yet when
important decisions are being made, people still prefer to meet.
Hi Bob
Email, LinkedIn, video calls, automation and AI have transformed how
businesses connect.
Yet despite all of this, the most valuable opportunities often begin the
same way they always have: through a face-to-face conversation.
The Festival of Entrepreneurs is built around exactly those moments.
Over two days at the NEC, more than 5,000 founders, owners and senior
decision-makers come together to raise finance, adopt technology, build
teams, improve marketing and accelerate growth.
For exhibitors, it creates a rare opportunity to engage directly with the
people making decisions inside growing businesses.
The 2026 Festival will feature more than 200 speakers, 150 exhibitors and
dedicated networking areas designed to encourage meaningful conversations
between visitors, partners and suppliers.
Festival of Entrepreneurs 2026 is already taking shape:
👥 5,000+ attendees expected
🎤 110+ speakers confirmed
🏢 60% of exhibition space already allocated
If your customers are ambitious SME businesses, now is the time to explore
the remaining opportunities.
