The Decisions Defining Tomorrow: Ipswich Business Summit 2026

The first annual Ipswich Business Summit brings business leaders together for keynotes and a Q&A on devolution, infrastructure and the future of Ipswich.

Suffolk Director Magazine, in partnership with Ipswich.co.uk, hosts the first annual Ipswich Business Summit at DanceEast on the Ipswich waterfront. The afternoon, themed around the question "Is it too late for Ipswich?", features three keynotes on politics (devolution), infrastructure and the town's future, followed by a Question Time-style panel Q&A chaired by Oliver Rouane-Williams and Sue Wilcock. The event closes with a Christmas drinks reception from 6.00 to 7.30 pm.
