Manufacturing Leaders Summit
Big news for our community: we’re taking the energy from 100+ conversations and turning it into the Manufacturing Leaders Summit, a purpose-driven day dedicated to real progress in UK manufacturing. On 30 April 2026, we’re gathering at New College Durham to bring together operators, founders, engineers, HR leaders and educators who want solutions that work in the real world.
We’re building a programme that blends high-signal talks and hands-on workshops led by speakers with TEDx experience and past guests you’ve loved.
This summit is not-for-profit. Every £15 ticket will support Red Sky Foundation, funding heart care and equipment in communities that need it most—a cause that’s deeply personal to us.
We’re aiming for around 200 attendees to keep conversations meaningful and momentum high. If you’ve been part of our journey—listening, sharing, or joining us on the mic—this is your invitation to step into the room and shape what happens next. Grab a ticket, bring a colleague, and tell us the questions you want on the panels. Subscribe, share this with your team, and leave a review to help more leaders find the show. We can’t wait to see you there.
