S&W industry leaders conference
6-7 October 2026 - Art'otel London, Hoxton
About the event
In today's environment of economic uncertainty, market volatility and accelerating change, leaders face growing pressure to make confident decisions, drive growth and navigate complexity.
The S&W industry leaders conference will bring together senior leaders for two days of insight, discussion and practical perspectives on opportunities and challenges shaping the future of business.
Designed specifically for founders, CEOs, CFOs and senior leadership teams, the conference provides a unique opportunity to step away from day-to-day demands, gain fresh perspectives and connect with peers facing similar strategic challenges.
Across two content-rich days, attendees will hear from influential business leaders, industry experts and advisers through a combination of keynote presentations, panel discussions, interactive breakout sessions and networking opportunities.
Across both days, you'll experience:
Inspiring keynote speakers
Honest client perspectives
Lively panel discussions
Interactive breakout sessions
Dedicated time to connect and exchange ideas
The two days are designed to complement each other, or attendance for a single day is fine too. You may want to come along to both days or join one yourself and send a colleague along for the other one.
