About this Event
LeaderFest 2026 is a high-impact, future-focused experience designed for SME leaders navigating an increasingly complex and fast-changing world. Through powerful interviews, expert panels and collaborative learning, the day brings together real-world insight, shared experience and practical strategies to help you lead with clarity, confidence and purpose.
Drawing on over 20 years of peer-to-peer learning, LeaderFest creates a unique space for open, honest conversation between leaders facing similar challenges. From adapting to rapid technological change to building resilient, high-performing organisations, the focus is firmly on what works in practice, not theory.
Open to both members and non-members, LeaderFest offers a rare opportunity to step back from the day-to-day, engage with like-minded leaders and leave with thinking you can immediately apply to your business.
Following another highly successful event last year, early booking is strongly recommended.
