Conference News is delighted to announce that registration is now open for the CN Agency Leaders Summit 2026, taking place on 7-8 September at Whittlebury Park.
Returning for its third edition, the CN Agency Leaders Summit brings together senior leaders from the event agency community, including agency founders, directors and leadership teams, for two days of strategic content and curated networking designed to support the running of an events business.
Momentum behind the event continues to grow. Sponsorship has sold out for a second consecutive year, and with the 2025 edition reaching full delegate capacity ahead of the event, 2026 is forecast to follow suit. Senior leaders are encouraged to secure their place early.
This year’s conference programme tackles key strategy-focused challenges, combining expert insight, peer discussion and interactive sessions. Topics include:
- Relationships Under Pressure: Strengthening Agency-Supplier Collaboration
- The Courage to Confront: The Leadership Conversations That Change Everything
- The Client Hot Seat: Ask Me Anything
- Hiring Workshop, delivered by Robert Kenward
- Ambition, Opportunity & M&A: How Agency Growth Is Being Reimagined
- Factual Report from Dr. Barış Onay, former CCO at Tarsus Group and former Group Marketing & Digital Director at Hyve

“The CN Agency Leaders Summit has rapidly become a must for senior leaders across the events industry. The fact that sponsorship has sold out for a second year running, and that 2025 saw delegate capacity hit well before the event date, speaks volumes about the appetite for this kind of focused, peer-led forum. We’re incredibly proud of the community it continues to build.”
