About this event
Ideas Fest is the UK's festival for business leaders and entrepreneurs, bringing 6,000+ founders together for two days at Champneys Tring on 9–10 September 2026.
team.blue is there as headline partner, running The Great British Build-Off: a live build competition powered by Macaly, where founders enter online, get voted through by their own networks, then build their idea live in front of the crowd, culminating in a stage final on day two.
Alongside the competition, team.blue brings the full toolkit to life as a physical activation.
Head to our pergola across both days and walk through everything you need to launch, grow and scale a business, with real people on hand to help you do it there and then.
