Festival of Entrepreneurs

Festival of Entrepreneurs brings together thousands of founders, business owners and senior decision-makers for two days of business growth at the NEC Birmingham. With 200 speakers, 150 exhibitors and four conference stages, the Festival explores the biggest opportunities and challenges facing growing businesses.

Hear from successful entrepreneurs, business leaders and industry experts behind some of the UK's best-known businesses and brands as they share practical insights on AI, marketing, sales, funding, leadership, brand building and business growth.

Discover innovative products and services, connect with like-minded entrepreneurs, and gain practical ideas to help you make better business decisions. Whether you're looking to increase sales, improve productivity, embrace AI, secure funding or build a stronger business, the Festival brings together the people, knowledge and solutions to help you build a stronger, faster-growing business.

Festival of Entrepreneurs takes place at NEC Birmingham, 3–4 Nov 2026. If you are exhibiting, we design, build and install custom exhibition stands here. Over a show of this length, the stands that perform are the ones where the layout was decided before the visuals.

The NEC is the UK's largest exhibition venue, and the scale changes what works. Halls are vast with long sightlines, so height, lighting and branding readable from the aisle do more work than detail at eye level. Build and breakdown run to allocated slots, and vehicle access to the loading bays is booked in advance.

A full build covers design, manufacture, transport, installation, on-site management and dismantle, along with the RAMS, structural sign-off and contractor coordination the venue requires. You do not need to wait for a callback to find out what it costs — enter your stand dimensions in our online builder for an instant estimate.
