The Bath Business Conference returns for its fifth year, taking place on Tuesday 13th October 2026 at the Apex City of Bath Hotel.

Now firmly established as a fixture in Bath’s business calendar, the annual event will explore a range of topics affecting organisations today, from artificial intelligence and leadership to economic development and policy.

The conference will open with a speed networking session led by Luca Volentir, Founder of The Briefing Room, and Les Redwood, Head of Marketing and Business Development at Mogers Drewett.

A programme of panel discussions will examine key issues facing the local business community, including the proposed Overnight Visitor Levy and the role of human creativity in an increasingly AI-driven world. The latter session will feature Zsike Peter, author of Thinkbait.

Delegates will also be able to choose from a series of workshops covering topics such as fraud and cybercrime, storytelling, business coaching, leadership, retirement planning and HR.

The programme also includes a session led by author and entrepreneur Dr Margaret Heffernan, marking the relaunch of Bath Rotary Club.

The conference will conclude with discussions on developing a winning mindset through sport and a look at Bath’s future through the lens of artificial intelligence and strategic planning.

Organisers say the event is designed to encourage discussion, collaboration and knowledge-sharing across the local business community.

Tickets can be booked through Welcome to Bath.
