What the night is
LIVE 2026 is a single evening at The Social Hub in Glasgow. It is built around real conversation between people who run businesses, not a conference programme padded out with filler.
Wednesday 30 September 2026. An evening event, so you can keep the working day for the business and still make it.
The Social Hub, Glasgow. Central, easy to reach, and the right setting for the conversation and the afterparty that follows.
160 business owners, one evening only. The capacity is capped on purpose, so the people next to you are worth meeting.
The format
The night is built around four parts. Each one earns its place.
Business owners on stage together, pushed on the same questions, so you hear where they agree and where they do not. The decisions, the costs, and the parts most founders leave out.
The Focus on Founders podcast, recorded in the room, with the honest conversations that usually happen once the mics are off. You are there for the version that does not get edited down.
The floor is yours. Ask the question you cannot ask anywhere else and get a straight answer in front of the room.
The evening does not end with the last panel. The afterparty is where the introductions and the real conversations happen.
The running order
The shape of the evening is set. The full running order, with timings, is announced soon.
Arrive, get a drink, and settle in before the evening starts.
