THE FESTIVAL for business leaders and entrepreneurs

Your Community for Entrepreneurial Connection

At Ideas Fest, we understand that entrepreneurship is more than just a business journey—it’s a personal adventure that can often feel isolating and overwhelming. That’s why we’ve cultivated an environment where real connections are made and community is at the heart of everything we do.

Here, you’ll find yourself among peers who are not just contacts, but collaborators and friends. Our gatherings are designed to foster support, empathy, and mutual growth. Whether you’re wrestling with late-night worries about your next step or celebrating a recent success, you won’t have to do it alone. At Ideas Fest, every conversation has the potential to spark a new idea or a lifelong partnership.

Join a network that’s as ambitious and driven as you are, but also values the power of community and the impact of real, human connections. Together, we create more than just businesses—we build a supportive ecosystem that nurtures every member.

But How Can I Afford To Take Two Days Out?

We understand the importance of balancing networking with productivity.
That’s why our venue offers quiet spaces perfect for working, taking calls, or holding meetings, ensuring you can stay connected to your business while engaging in the festival experience.

Festimonials

"Ideas Festival is unique because of the diversity of opinion and inspiration you get at this place. If you get a chance to come to Ideas Festival, make sure you do, because honestly, there’s nothing quite quite like it in terms of diversity, of inspiration and thought."

Steven Bartlett, Diary of a CEO

"Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to attend Ideas Fest, a unique event that perfectly blends the energy of a festival with the insights of a business conference. If you're passionate about entrepreneurship and innovation, I highly recommend keeping an eye out for Ideas Fest 2024. "

Pamela Acutely, Just Like Me

"There really aren't many big events that I would personally back as unmissable, this is one of them for sure. My no.1 reason, it's nothing like a traditional business conference."

Alex Hughes, Inspire to Ignite

"The best conference I have EVER attended, mainly because it wasn't one"
