LEARN AND CONNECT AT THE IMPACT UNLIMITED SUMMIT

Julian Blake

Director, Impact Unlimited

September’s Impact Unlimited Summit will see our community tackle live challenges. You’ll leave inspired, better connected and clearer on what works, now.

How can communities come together to accelerate positive change for people and planet? And how can organisations scale their impact to deliver faster and better?

Those are the key questions at the centre of the 2026 Impact Unlimited Summit, our new one-day event happening in London on Wednesday 30 September. Tickets go on sale in June.

The Impact Unlimited Summit will leave you:

Inspired by stories of success 
Engaged on live challenges
Empowered by helping resolve challenges
Connected with people who care.

The summit takes place at Rich Mix, a cultural hub at the heart of the east London business scene. It will bring together a cross-sector audience from startups, non-profits and corporate businesses to explore challenges they each face.

Across a day of discussion, our community will come together to tackle and resolve real challenges.

The summit will also help you to grow your impact through: 

• Investment ideas
• Innovation in AI and digital
• People, culture and skills.

Why now?

We live in an uncertain world. The climate crisis is real. Health, education and society face huge challenges. Confidence in systems and institutions – and sometimes in ourselves – can be fragile.

Leaders across the economy are under pressure to deliver more, often for less. They’re trying to improve performance – while facing increased scrutiny, investment risk and cultural change.

Non-profits want to scale under constraint, often with rising demand and uncertain funding. They face big day-to-day challenges.

Funders, meawhile, are seeking clearer evidence of what works. They want proof of impact before committing to supporting innovation.

Technology can accelerate positive transformation, for sure, but its effects are mixed and AI is leaving us uncertain about the future. We know technology can be used for good.

Leadership in this environment is about good judgement. That demands credibility and decisions backed by data.

Who it’s for

The summit will engage with people from across the UK economy looking to solve problems and scale the impact their organisations make. It brings together:

corporate change makers working on people, skills, ESG, social impact and transformation
senior business leaders making decisions about investment, strategy and risk
 non-profit leaders navigating everyday challenges
funders and investors seeking to enable what works
• organisations working to build skills, confidence and access.

Together, we’ll explore real solutions to real problems – and understand how skills, technology and investment can help scale impact.

Who you’ll hear from

Summit speakers include high-profile figures from business, culture and wider society.

We announce our first summit speakers shortly. Low ticket prices will keep the summit accessible.

What makes the summit different

There are many events out there that focus on impact. The Impact Unlimited Summit itakes a different approach. Our focus is on you.

It is solutions-first, concentrating on the answers to the challenges you face.

And it brings our community of businesses, non-profits and funders into the same room. Progress doesn’t happen in silos.

The summit is also story-led, with speakers sharing honest reflections on what’s worked for their success, as well as what didn’t work and what they’d do differently now. 

Crucially, the event builds in time and structure for people to connect, ensuring that you can think and share together. The day will balance storytelling with solutions. There will be no sales pitches.

What you’ll leave with

You’ll leave the summit inspired by success, as well as engaged and empowered by resolving live challenges.

You’ll also be better-connected with people building a better future. You’ll have built relationships with special people in the room.

The wider programme

The summit sits at the centre of a wider Impact Unlimited content and events programme. We’ll host other conversations that will identify and help you address your challenges, together.
