Created by a team of five founders, BizzFest will bring together world-class speakers, powerful networking, and festival vibes, all in one unforgettable day designed to inspire and propel business growth for founders and teams. The inaugural event features a daytime conference with speakers covering topics from AI to motivation, followed by a lively evening festival with three music and performance stages.
Shaun Pledger, Co-Founder of BizzFest said, “At BizzFest, we believe that business is about more than just growth. It’s about impact. Partnering with Spread a Smile is our way of shining a light on a charity that does extraordinary work for children and families at the toughest times of their lives. We’re inspired by how they not only bring joy to young patients, but also create meaningful, bespoke partnerships with businesses. Supporting them feels like a perfect fit for BizzFest, and we’re proud to help spread more smiles together.”
The partnership with Spread a Smile will offer the charity a brilliant opportunity to introduce our work to a new business-led audience, raising awareness and funds to enable us to spread even more smiles and bring joy and laughter to seriously ill children and their families when it’s needed most.
Lucy Jackson, Spread a Smile Chief Executive said, “We’re extremely grateful to Bizzfest for inviting us to be part of this wonderful event and are looking forward to meeting as many guests and attendees as possible. It’s a great opportunity for us to reach new audiences, showcase what we do as a charity and share how we bring a unique and engaging approach to the partnerships we develop. We’re excited to be working with BizzFest to bring Spread a Smile to the stage and show how we can help businesses to achieve their Corporate Social Responsibility goals in an inspirational way, making a meaningful impact for the families we support.”
BizzFest isn’t just another business event. It’s where entrepreneurs, founders, and business leaders come together to learn, connect, and grow, in a setting that’s as exciting as it is inspiring. Although first release tickets to the event are now sold out, there is still a chance to secure a spot for your business here.
