Beam has opened registration for its Annual Forum 2026 at Wyboston Lakes Resort on 16-17 July.

Following last year’s successful ‘Relationships 2.0’ theme, this year the forum will centre around human connection under the banner 'Relationships 3.0: From Connection to Momentum'.

"Last year's forum really struck a chord with people. There was a genuine appetite to talk about relationships, collaboration and the human side of our industry, so continuing the theme this year felt like the right thing to do," said beam chair, David Tremmil.

Taking those conversations, as Tremmil explains, "a step further", the forum will examine how genuine connections can generate momentum for businesses, for people, for an entire sector that lives and dies by bringing humans together.

The voices in the room

Labour MP for Bedford Mohammad Yasin MP will open proceedings with a Q&A with the audience.

Andrew Griffith MP, shadow secretary of state for business and trade will then join Robert Wright from The Business of Events for a fireside chat on what tomorrow's business landscape holds for an industry perpetually planning for the future.

Nick Saunders, award-winning speaker with an audience averging two million people is set to deliver a keynote speech that drills into trust and human connection in a world increasingly run by artificial intelligence.

Tremmil added, "We're really pleased to have Nick Saunders joining us because his message around trust and human connection is incredibly relevant right now."

Early bird tickets will remain available until 2nd June 2026. For more information and to register, visit the beam website.
