BizzFest returns to Essex in 2026 for an even bigger celebration of business, innovation and connection, with first release tickets now on sale at www.bizzfest.co.uk.
Taking place on September 17th at Cressing Temple Barns, BizzFest 2026 will once again transform the historic Essex venue into a vibrant hub of ideas, inspiration and opportunity, combining keynote speakers, live entertainment, investment opportunities, wellbeing experiences and meaningful networking in one immersive festival-style event.
Bringing together more than 2,000 founders, leaders and professionals, as well as guest speakers including leading Essex entrepreneurs James Sinclair and Will Polston, the day is designed to prove that business really can be fun.
Following the success of the inaugural BizzFest in 2025, organisers are promising a “bigger, louder and even more engaging” 2026 event, with expanded exhibitor areas, more sponsors, enhanced networking experiences and a packed programme of speakers and activities.
Attendees can expect compelling keynote talks, expert-led panels, live business surgery sessions, wellbeing zones, live music and entertainment throughout the day, alongside the return of the popular Paddle Investors experience connecting ambitious businesses with investors and growth opportunities.
The festival has already attracted major names from across business, media and entrepreneurship, with 2025 speakers including Jamie Laing, Andy Coulson, Jane Moore, James Sinclair, Dr Alison Edgar MBE and Mike Adams OBE.
Andy Coleman, co-founder of BizzFest, said: “We created BizzFest because we believed business events could be more engaging, more human and far more memorable. The response in 2025 was incredible and showed there’s a real appetite for something different.
“BizzFest 2026 will build on that momentum with even more opportunities for people to connect, collaborate, learn and leave inspired.”
Tickets and partnership opportunities are now available at www.bizzfest.co.uk.
BizzFest 2026 returns bigger, bolder and more immersive than ever
