Panel Session Business Development Marketing Delegate

Location: Stage 3 - Thu, 2 Jul 2026 · 10:15 – 10:45 (Europe/London) (30 minutes)

Amazing people doing extraordinary things

Three founders. Three standout businesses. One conversation about what it really takes to break the mould.

This session brings together founders who have built exceptional advisory boards, secured traction, and raised capital both in the UK and overseas. We will explore how they created momentum, opened doors, attracted investors and built businesses that stand out in competitive markets.

Who should attend?

This session is for founders, scaleup leaders, investors and advisers who want to understand how standout businesses create momentum. It will be especially relevant for founders looking to raise capital, build stronger advisory boards, expand beyond the UK, or position their business more clearly in front of investors and strategic partners.

Why attend?

You will hear from founders who have done more than talk about ambition. They have built traction, attracted high-quality advisers and opened up funding conversations in the UK and overseas. The session will give you practical insight into how they created credibility, built the right relationships and turned bold ideas into businesses that people wanted to back.
