Innovation Festival 2025 – Here. We. GO!

Yes. It’s that time. We’re heading back to the amazing North East and to Newcastle Racecourse, for the ninth NWG’s Innovation Festival. And we cannot WAIT!

Get the dates locked in. Dust off your sunnies and wellies . . . it is the North East after all . . . and let’s get our sleeves rolled up. We’ve got a LOT to tackle.

Talkin’ about our . . . REGENERATION! This year, we’ve chosen a theme which is close to all of our hearts. And one that will see us making some big changes onsite - and that’s intentional. We’re focussing our regeneration lens on the positive process of renewal, restoration and growth.

So from the food we offer, to the guests onstage, the materials and energy we use, to the coffee in the pot. Everything has been chosen and scrutinised to ensure it’s the most sustainable, right choice for our innovation family.

Building on our speed and scale from last year, it’s now time to build in sustainability and beyond, be more intentional, and ensure we leave the softest and most purposeful footprint behind for our future innovators.

Here’s how the week will look . . . 

We’ve got you covered on the fun stuff too. It wouldn’t be an Innovation Festival without a celebrity guest speaker, some live entertainment, games and a sweet treat or two thrown in between.

So here it is. Innovation Festival 2025. We can’t wait to see you there!

Registration coming soon . . .
