Discover Your Perfect Ideas Fest Experience
THE FESTIVAL for business leaders and entrepreneurs

"Glastonbury for Business"

Hey, I’m Francesca founder of Ideas Fest.

We launched the festival initially because of the dreaded c word (covid!).

As an event business that runs some of the largest awards programmes, communities and events for business owners & leaders in the UK, covid of course presented a number of challenges.

There was a point in the pandemic when outdoor events looked more feasible than indoor events, and a seed was planted.

In 2022 when we ran the first festival it was quite a challenge to explain to attendees exactly what this event would be like and what they should expect; a business event, in a field? 

Thankfully people came and they loved it.

We’re excited to have launched Ideas Fest 2024,  a convergence of visionaries, disruptors, and trailblazers in the world of entrepreneurship. We’re designing a festival that’s more than just a gathering; it’s a catalyst for growth, learning, and genuine connection. Through the insights our community have shared, we understand that the essence of an unforgettable event lies in its ability to offer meaningful interactions, practical knowledge, and memorable experiences.

You asked for impactful discussions, opportunities to pitch, and pathways to investment – consider it done. We’re orchestrating industry-specific networking events, assembling a lineup of stellar speakers who’ve walked the path to success, and paving the way for groundbreaking introductions.

But the journey at Ideas Fest doesn’t end with the last talk of the day. As dusk falls, the festival transforms into a space of creativity and camaraderie. Picture yourself winding down with peers over music that stirs the soul, laughter that lightens the heart, and stories that spark the imagination.

Your feedback has been our guiding star, shaping an event that’s not just about attendance but about engagement, not just about information but about transformation.

So mark your calendars, for Ideas Fest is not just an event – it’s the beginning of your next chapter, an experiential haven where entrepreneurs don’t just gather; they ignite change.
