Why is Everyone Talking About Ideas Fest?

It’s not often you hear entrepreneurs and business leaders compare a professional event to Glastonbury. But Ideas Fest has broken the mould, blending creativity, community, and commerce in a way that has set the business world abuzz.

Held annually, Ideas Fest brings together the UK’s most innovative minds in a festival setting that goes beyond the conventional. Imagine a business conference crossed with a music festival:

• How about networking in a ball pit?

• Street Food & Bars

• Flash Mobs

• Silent Discos

• Themed lounges

• Pitch Competitions

• Acoustic Raves

• Pilates & Run Clubs

All paired with game-changing speakers and panels. This isn’t your average business event; it’s an experience.

The 2024 event was a resounding success, featuring keynote sessions from entrepreneurial icons, creative activations, and a buzzing atmosphere of collaboration.

Attendees ranged from budding founders to established CEOs, all seeking fresh ideas and connections.

The Hype around Ideas Fest is Undeniable

But it’s not just the experience that’s got people talking, it’s the outcomes. Attendees have left with life changing connections, actionable insights, and a renewed sense of purpose. Whether it’s closing investment deals, launching partnerships, or gaining clarity on their next steps, the impact is palpable.

The countdown to Ideas Fest 2025 has already begun. The question is: will you be there, or will you watch from the sidelines as the next big ideas are born?
