About this event

TechSummit London 2026 brings 1,200 founders, engineers, designers, and product leaders together for one day of unfiltered conversations about what comes next in software. No keynote theatrics, no sales pitches — just operators sharing what's actually working in 2026.

Across four tracks, 24 speakers will cover the AI engineering stack, building product organisations that ship, the new economics of distribution, and the design language of agent-native interfaces. Expect contrarian takes, live demos, and the occasional argument.

Held at ExCeL London, an easy DLR ride from central London. Tickets include all sessions, lunch, the evening reception, and access to the recording library for 12 months after the event.
