Conference begins 9.45am, 14 October 2026
Future Forum brings leaders from business, government and academia to King’s Cross for its first flagship event, with Town Hall hosting the daytime programme on 14 and 15 October.
Over the two days, the programme runs ten-minute Future Talks, fireside conversations, structured debates, reverse mentoring, live skills sessions in the Future Studio and hands-on AI workshops. Sessions sit across six themes, from Living Planet and Human Upgrades to Work Reimagined, and more than 150 contributors are taking part, among them Baroness Susan Greenfield, Dame Julia Hoggett of the London Stock Exchange and Shevaun Haviland of the British Chambers of Commerce.
Future Forum is open to senior leaders and emerging talent alike, with free passes available on application for students, charities and creators.
Future Forum is a year-round innovation platform connecting leaders, founders and creatives through events, insights and conversations about technology. Founded by Matt Scheckner, founding CEO of Advertising Week, it launched privately at Abbey Road Studios in late 2025 with support from the UK Department for Business and Trade. It brought its community to Town Hall in July for a breakfast across The Network and The Salon. Alongside the daytime programme here, the flagship includes invitation-only evenings at Abbey Road Studios and Ronnie Scott’s and a breakfast at Liberty.
