Festival of Entrepreneurs is the UK’s growth event for ambitious business owners and their teams.
Taking place at the NEC Birmingham on 8–9 October 2025, it features 150 speakers including Richard Harpin, Piers Linney and Rowena Bird. Across four stages, entrepreneurs share proven strategies to grow – from meeting funders, securing capital and getting investment ready, to harnessing AI and technology to boost productivity and win more customers.
Sessions also tackle the leadership, mindset and culture required to scale successfully.
Delegates can connect with peers in networking zones, gain direct advice from leading entrepreneurs, and leave with practical ideas to accelerate their next stage of growth.
