The Bath Business Conference returns for its fifth year on 13th October at the Apex City of Bath Hotel.
Now firmly established as a highlight of the city’s business calendar, the annual event brings together professionals, entrepreneurs, and organisations from across Bath and beyond for a day of connection, challenge and collaboration.
This year’s programme doesn’t shy away from the big questions facing business today. Delegates have the chance to meet Bath’s business community while diving into some of the most-talked-about topics shaping the city’s future.
The day kicks off with a Quickfire Speed Networking session led by Luca Volentir, Founder of The Briefing Room and Les Redwood, Head of Marketing and Business Development at Mogers Drewett, getting delegates connecting from the moment they walk through the door.
Two thought-provoking panels follow:
The Overnight Visitor Levy: How can we make it work for businesses?
Human Creativity in the Age of AI: Harnessing thoughtful, intentional communication, featuring author of Thinkbait, Zsike Peter
Delegates can also choose from a range of interactive workshops, covering everything from fraud and cybercrime to storytelling, business coaching and leadership, retirement planning and HR. There’s a not-to-be-missed session hosted by Dr Margaret Heffernan, renowned author, entrepreneur and thought leader, celebrating the relaunch of the Bath Rotary Club.
The day closes with two standout sessions:
A Winning Mindset: From a sporting perspective
Bath in 2040: AI predictions Vs strategic plans
With a packed agenda spanning growth, technology, wellbeing and policy, the Bath Business Conference 2026 promises to be its most dynamic edition yet.
