Business Ascension The Activation Tour™
Six upcoming cities. One movement. A day built to grow your business and the person behind it, in a room where conversations actually lead somewhere.
This is not another business conference.
You know the kind. A day in a room, a notebook full of ideas, and a Monday morning where nothing changes.
The Activation Tour was created to be different. It is an experience that brings founders, business owners, experts and leaders together to grow their businesses while developing the person behind them.
Real conversations. Real collaborations. Real decisions made on the day.
Somebody will hear something from that stage that changes the decision they make next. We want that person to be you.
Sustainable growth takes more than another strategy.
Businesses do not grow in neat little boxes. That is why every tour stop brings together expertise across the whole picture.
You will leave with ideas you can think about, feel, challenge and apply. Not pages of notes you never open again.

Six upcoming stops across the UK between November 2026 and March 2027. Each one brings a local room together with speakers, experts and the wider Business Ascension community.

Speaker spaces are available at every tour stop for experts who can move a room and give the audience a genuine outcome.
Would you rather apply to speak?
If you have genuine expertise, a story worth sharing and a message that can move a room, we would love to hear from you. Tell us a little about yourself, your topic and the outcome you would give our audience, and our team will be in touch to talk through the tour stops that suit you best.
What happens in the room.
Every expert is different, so every session is too. Each stop blends formats designed to move the room, not just fill the agenda.
Keynotes
Focused talks built around one powerful idea, story or business lesson.
Activations
Experiential sessions designed to create a shift in the room, not just teach information.
Educational sessions
Practical tools, frameworks and strategies you can take straight back into your business.
Interactive experiences
Exercises, demonstrations and facilitated discussion where you take part, not just take notes.
Expert panels
Several perspectives brought together around the conversations that matter most to business owners right now.
Real connection
Time and space to meet the people in the room properly, with conversations that carry on long after the day ends.
No hard pitches. No disguised sales funnels.
We want you to trust the people we put in front of you. If you leave curious about a speaker, it will be because their work was excellent. Not because you sat through twenty minutes of selling.
Value first
Every session is built around impact, with a clear outcome for you to take home.
Speakers you can trust
Experts chosen for genuine expertise, lived experience and a message worth hearing.
A room that respects you
Inclusive, welcoming and built for every stage of business, so you can simply show up as you are.
The rooms we build.
Moments from previous Business Ascension events. Ambitious people, genuine connection and plenty of celebration.
Collaboration over competition.
The person sitting next to you could become your next referral partner, collaborator, client, podcast guest or friend.
There may be people in the room who do something similar to you. Good. We are building rooms that expand the table rather than guard corners of it.
Business Ascension is inclusive and not gender-specific. Different industries, backgrounds and perspectives are welcomed, and you never have to become somebody else to belong here.
Where the tour leads
Business Ascension Live & Awards 2027
13th and 14th July 2027, Hazlewood Castle
Every tour stop is part of the journey to our flagship. The tour is how we discover the people, businesses, stories and speakers who will fill that room and be celebrated on that stage.
Join us on tour and you are already part of it.
Who is the tour for?
Ambitious business owners and professionals at every stage. Founders, coaches, consultants, creatives, agency owners, sales professionals, emerging business owners and established leaders who want to grow their business and themselves.
Is this a networking event?
Not in the swap-a-business-card sense. You will meet brilliant people, but the day is built around learning, activation and conversations that lead somewhere.
Will I be sold to from the stage?
No. Speakers can share their work and expertise, but every session is built around value first. We do not run hard-pitch stages.
When do tickets open for the other cities?
All seven dates are confirmed, and tickets are released city by city across the tour. Join the waitlist for your city and you will be the first to hear when booking opens.
Can I attend more than one stop?
Absolutely. Each city brings a different local room, different speakers and new connections, so you are welcome to join us more than once.
