Event Trends for 2026

Events / Event Trends for 2026By /

We are heading into 2026 and events are continuously evolving and we are looking at event trends for 2026.

While uncertainty has become the new normal – tight budgets, rising costs, and the pressure to deliver more with less we think there’s genuine optimism in the air as we head into the New Year.

Clients who were postponing decisions or waiting for the UK budget actually made decisions in December 2025 to go ahead with their Q1 events. Usually December is quiet for decision making, so we were pleased to see this. Two of our clients, one long standing and a newer client we first worked with in October 2025, confirmed their 2026 events.  

At Autumn Live we are still seeing smart strategies that put human connection and meaningful impact at the heart of everything we do. We know people like to connect in person. The team are looking forward to much more of it.

This is what we’re thinking about event trends for 2026…

The idea for Tea&Toast was planted. We were bored of business networking, referral groups and pressure to demonstrate how successful and accomplished you were. There was an appetite to meet, have a cuppa, an interesting and stimulating chat and leave saying, “Hope you have a great day!”, feeling positive for the day ahead.

Community, Events / Digital Community Leaders Report LaunchBy /

In September we delivered the launch event for the digital community leaders report 2023. We were delighted to partner with Steadfast Collective to produce the report for a second time, following the 2021 report.

The event, hosted at The RSA in London, featured two panels of experts talking through some of the key findings and themes in the report. If you’re in or on the fringes of the growing group of digital community leaders, this is your chance to catch up on what happened.

Re-imagining events in the future

Business, Connection, Digital Events, Event Planning, Eventprofs, Events / Re-imagining events in the futureBy /

Every time there is a global shift – the financial crash of 2008, the fallout from 9/11, the pandemic of 2020, there is an opportunity as humanity evaluates what’s important, where should we be focusing? What’s important to me, my workplace, my business, my family, my people? Our perspective can shift, a little or a lot. What does this mean for events in the future?
