9 & 10 September 2026 · Champneys, Tring
Sofas, free drinks, and over 60 HoLT members on site — the biggest community represented at Ideas Fest. Look for the pink. You cannot miss it.
The tent is staffed by helpful HoLTie hosts all day: easygoing networking over a free drink, with someone whose actual job is introducing you to new people.
Free tea and coffee in the tent, all day both days, provided by On The Kusp, the email marketing agency.
200+ speakers across the festival, panels on the stages, and Lea doing what Lea does. Bring questions.
Twice a day, both days: 11am and 2pm at the tent. Fast, silly, and weirdly effective. Turn up two minutes early.
Twenty humans to find across two days, played on your phone. Full card wins. We are giving out prizes ALL DAY at the tent.
Photos from the hunt land straight on the big screen in the tent. Find someone brilliant, snap it, watch yourself go up in lights.
Wednesday, 6:30pm. Business owners, a microphone, and no dignity clause. Provided and hosted by BAM Karaoke Box.
Food trucks, music, fairy lights and questionable dancing. Last year it rained and nobody went home. That is the vibe.
It is a bingo card of twenty humans: find someone with more than three pets, someone in their first year of business, someone famous-ish. Tick them off on your phone, photograph the good ones, and claim your prize at The HoLT tent. Register now and you are ready the moment the gates open.
