We know, we know. We say it every year. But this time, we genuinely mean it more than ever. Our next in-person gathering is on its way, and it is shaping up to be the most exciting, most ambitious, most unmissable event we have ever put together.
Mark your calendars: Tuesday 26th May 2026. Save the date.
We have always believed that the venue sets the tone for the ambition in the room. From the iconic drama of the Dragons’ Den studio to the sky-high views of The Shard, every space we have chosen has told a story about where our community is and where it is heading. This year, we are taking that philosophy to a whole new level.
We are absolutely thrilled to announce that our 2026 annual event will be held at 1 Triton Square, right at the heart of Regent’s Place in central London. And if you haven’t heard of it yet, prepare to be impressed!
It is described as London’s new engine for innovation and growth, and that is not marketing language — it is an accurate description of what this place represents. Sitting at the convergence of the West End and the Knowledge Quarter, this is a campus where global business, science, and culture genuinely meet under one roof. It is purpose-built for exactly the kind of ambitious, boundary-pushing thinking that our community embodies every single day.
1 Triton Square - the Perfect location for Our Community
Think about what our community stands for. International founders building innovative businesses in the UK, people who have crossed continents to bring their ideas to life, who are pushing into new markets, forming new partnerships, and proving that innovation has no borders. Now think about a space that was designed specifically to bring together enterprise, research, and innovation in one extraordinary environment. It is a perfect match.
The campus at Regent’s Place is home to a remarkable ecosystem of science, technology, and creative businesses, with strategic partnerships linking it to world-class institutions including UCL and The Francis Crick Institute. It is also the home of Venture Café London, which makes the connection even more fitting given that this year we are co-hosting our event with the Venture Café community. Everything about this venue aligns with what we are trying to build.
What to Expect on the Day
If you’ve been to one of our events before, you already know the feeling. That buzz the moment the room fills up. The conversation that starts over coffee and turns into a partnership. The realisation, somewhere around mid-afternoon, that the person you’ve just spent an hour talking to might change the direction of your business. That is what we live for, and that is what we have built this day around.
Expect world-class networking, founder-led sessions, and the kind of candid, real conversations that you simply cannot replicate on a Zoom call. Expect to meet people from across the globe who are building extraordinary things in the UK. And expect to do all of this inside a venue that is genuinely inspiring in its own right.
The location is also simply brilliant for a day in London. Regent’s Place sits right at the edge of Fitzrovia, Bloomsbury, and the West End, surrounded by restaurants, green spaces, and cultural destinations. Getting there is effortless, with Euston, Warren Street, and Great Portland Street all within easy reach. Once the formal programme wraps up, the area offers no shortage of places to continue conversations long into the evening.
Pulse Accelerate Is in the Room
This year’s event also comes at a particularly exciting moment for our community. Pulse Accelerate, our bespoke growth accelerator programme for international founders building businesses in the UK, is now live and already changing the trajectory of founders enrolled in it.
This event will be a brilliant opportunity to learn more about the programme in person, meet the Executive Guides behind it, and hear directly from founders who are already experiencing the difference it makes.
If you have been thinking about taking the next step with your business, this is the day to start that conversation.
Who Should Be There?
The honest answer is everyone. Whether you are just starting to explore the Innovator Founder Visa and wondering whether the UK is the right place to build your business, or whether you have been here for years and are now navigating scale-up, ILR applications, or your next funding round, this event is designed with you in mind.
Our community spans every sector imaginable, from deep tech and fintech to health, education, sustainability, and beyond. What everyone in the room shares is the experience of building something bold in a new country, and the determination to make it work. If that sounds like you, there is absolutely a place at this event for you.
We’ll See You There
Registration is open now and approval is required. This event is expected to be fully booked. If you want to be in the room on 26th May, the time to register is now.
