London Board Dinner 2026

This week, we were was delighted to host over 350 senior leaders at our flagship London Board Dinner - an evening that brought together an exceptional mix of founders, investors, Chairs and Board leaders from across the technology and investment ecosystem.

Held at The Peninsula, the event created space for candid conversation, fresh perspectives and meaningful connection at a time when leadership is being tested by rapid technological, economic and societal change. Throughout the evening, what stood out most was the quality and openness of the discussions taking place across the room. In a world moving at extraordinary speed, the opportunity for experienced leaders to exchange ideas honestly with peers feels more valuable than ever.

A highlight of the evening was a thought-provoking keynote from Dex Hunter-Torricke, who shared his perspective on the societal inflection point we are currently facing and the increasing importance of decisive, responsible leadership in shaping a better future. His reflections sparked engaging conversations that continued long after the talk had ended.

The London Board Dinner continues to be one of the key moments in The Up Group calendar, bringing together leaders who are shaping the future of business, technology and investment. We are hugely grateful to everyone who joined us and contributed to such a memorable evening.

We look forward to welcoming our community together again at the next one!
