Changemakers Conclave 2026: Recognising Business Leadership and Progress
Ahead of the 19 November House of Lords conclave, UKABC highlights business achievement, entrepreneurship, innovation and the changemakers shaping inclusion and sustainability.
Business leadership that creates opportunity
The Changemakers Conclave 2026 will recognise business leaders, entrepreneurs and organisations whose achievements contribute to growth, employment, innovation and international opportunity.
On 19 November 2026, the UK Asian Business Council (UKABC) and GVN Media will bring together business leaders, investors, innovators and changemakers at the House of Lords in London to celebrate achievement and encourage valuable connections.
Recognising business excellence
The programme will highlight entrepreneurial achievement, responsible growth, innovation, international ambition and leadership that creates opportunity for others. Selected recognitions and chief guest details will be announced when confirmed.
Connecting people and ideas
Beyond recognition, the gathering will encourage constructive dialogue, introductions between decision-makers, and opportunities for business collaboration and investment. The objective is to build relationships that continue beyond the event.
Inclusion, special needs and sustainability
The Conclave will also recognise changemakers advancing disability inclusion, special educational needs, inclusive sport, artistic expression and sustainability. Canvas For Care, an initiative founded and led by UKABC, will feature as one example of creativity supporting community connections.
