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 headline partner, running The Great British Build-Off: register your idea online, build it live in 90 minutes on Macaly AI at the festival, then pitch on stage for a share of £5,000 and up to 200 million Macaly AI credits.
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, protect and scale a business, with real people on hand to help you do it there and then.
