This is the festival for those shaping what's next. The festival where bold minds meet, big ideas spark, and change gets real.
This June, it’s festival season, and we’re throwing one too - just ours happens to be for transformation leaders.
DifFest 2026 — limited to 50 senior leaders — is a three-day, Inside–Out experience built around Intelligent Transformation, set in the heart of Sheffield. This isn’t your normal conference. It’s an immersive reset. It’s about the real work:
- Winning commercially without losing socially
- Designing tomorrow without a blueprint
- Building advantage in an AI-accelerated world
- Leading when certainty has expired
- Creating performance that outpaces disruption
- And, yes, it will have energy, food, coffee, music, conversation, creative contributors, and more.
A festival feel, with substance at its core. You can move in and out as your diary demands:
- One day will sharpen you.
- Two days will deepen the thinking.
- All three will give you the full arc.
If you’re shaping what comes next — not just managing what is — this is the tent you’ll want to be in.
