Sunday Reflections: Thank You for the Magic of Ideas Fest 2024

As I sit down for the first time since Ideas Fest (without feeling totally exhausted!), I’ve had a chance to reflect on the whirlwind that was this year’s event. The messages of support, the incredible feedback, and the energy you’ve shared have been overwhelming, and I am deeply grateful to each and every one of you.

To say I was nervous in the run-up would be an understatement. Could we recreate the magic of the first year? Would the weather hold? Had we built the right structures to ensure everyone had an incredible experience?

Those thoughts were constantly running through my head yet as the tents went up, and the first guests arrived, it became clear - we were on the right track.

What makes Ideas Fest truly special is the incredible community that joins together, and this year exceeded all expectations. From ice baths to insightful talks, from inspiring founders to some of the biggest names in business, every conversation, every experience felt meaningful and, yes, magical. Hearing from so many of you about the connections you made, the ideas sparked, and the fun you had reminds me why we do this.

Now, the excitement is building for Ideas Fest 2025, and believe me, we’re already hard at work to make it even bigger and better. I can already sense that next year will be something truly extraordinary, with even more opportunities for you to connect, grow, and celebrate everything about entrepreneurship.

With tickets on sale now, if you're interested in being a part of it I'd encourage you not to wait too long. We’ve been flooded with interest since this year’s festival, and it’s clear that Ideas Fest 2025 will sell out.

If you’re reading this and feeling even the slightest hint of FOMO, trust me that securing your spot sooner rather than later is a must!

Thank you again for being part of the journey. It’s your energy, ideas, and enthusiasm that turn this from a business event into something much more - a community, a celebration, and a festival like no other.

Here’s to another year of growth, inspiration, and, of course, a little bit of magic. I can’t wait to see what we’ll create together in 2025.

I’ve been blown away by all of the incredible feedback and messages since Ideas Fest, but none have touched me quite like these words from the amazing Oli Barrett .

His thoughtful reflection perfectly captures the magic we strive for each year, and, to be honest, he says it better than I ever could. Thank you, Oli—your words mean the world to me and the entire team.
