In a world where networking events often feel like a chore, Ideas Fest stands out as a breath of fresh air. According to entrepreneur and connector Oli Barrett MBE, this unique gathering is more than just an event, it’s a place where ideas flow freely, connections form effortlessly, and people come together without the pressure of titles or business cards.

“Ideas Fest is one of my favourite events,” says Barrett. “It is packed with interesting people, ideas, and it doesn’t feel like work.”

Unlike traditional business conferences, where the first question is often “What do you do?”, Ideas Fest fosters a different kind of energy, one of curiosity, creativity, and openness. Attendees are encouraged to explore new conversations, step outside their usual circles, and engage with fresh perspectives.

“Ideas Fest creates space to think and to meet people,” Barrett continues. “It is a place to meet new people and a place to reunite. It’s not the sort of place where you need to say, ‘What do you do?’ and that is very refreshing. You can come and be whoever you want to be.”

This ethos is at the heart of Ideas Fest’s growing reputation as the “Glastonbury for business” a festival where entrepreneurs, creatives, and changemakers come together not just to exchange business cards, but to exchange ideas. It’s an environment where serendipity thrives, where conversations spark new collaborations, and where attendees leave feeling energised and inspired.

“Everybody needs a place to think, a place to meet interesting people, a place to bump into unexpected things,” says Barrett. “Ideas Fest is that place.”

As Ideas Fest continues to evolve, its impact on the entrepreneurial community grows. Whether you’re a startup founder, an industry leader, or someone simply looking for fresh inspiration, Ideas Fest is the place to be.
