The FOUNDERS PLAYGROUND is where ambition meets action.
Set at Bristol & Bath Science Park, it’s a one-day experience built for founders, creators, and innovators who want more than just another conference.
Expect powerful main stage stories, practical workshops, curated experiences, live pitching, wellness sessions, and a vibrant marketplace all designed to move your ideas forward.
Why a
playground?
We called it The Founders Playground because it’s a place to test ideas, meet people, and move things forward. It’s less about sitting and listening, more about talking, trying, and building
.
It’s also built for founders who care about how they grow, not just how fast. People who think about the impact of their work on others and the world around them. That’s what For The Founders stands for — supporting businesses that create value in more ways than one.
Who's Speaking?
tickets FOR GOOD
Not everyone gets access to events like this.
That doesn’t sit right with us.
So for the FOUNDERS PLAYGROUND, we’ve set aside a limited number of Tickets for Good, for people who wouldn’t usually be able to attend.
No long forms. No spotlight. No awkwardness. Just access. If cost is a barrier, this is for you. You’ll get the same experience as everyone else, the conversations, the connections, the room.
Apply below.
(Limited availability. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.)
the FIRST Hello
Turning up on your own just got a whole lot more exciting!
We’ve partnered with The First Hello to create a space where solo guests are instantly welcomed in, no overthinking, no hovering, just a proper “you’re in the right place” feeling from the moment you arrive.
Make your way straight to The First Hello campfire and you’ll find your people. Picture crackling fire, cosy log stools, easy smiles and conversations that unfold without effort. It’s relaxed, it’s warm, and it’s designed so you can skip the awkward bits and settle in straight away with other brilliant humans doing the same brave thing as you.
This is more than just showing up. It’s that exhale moment. It’s laughter, connection and feeling like you belong. The First Hello is your starting point, your people, your place.
