The OPPORTUNITY
London Tech Week returned to Olympia in 2026 for its twelfth edition and third year at the venue, welcoming 35,000 attendees, 700 speakers and several high-profile leaders from across the UK and global technology sector. Hosting its largest edition to date, the event highlighted a shared ambition between the organiser and venue to create a world-class platform where innovation, investment and international business can thrive.
A launchpad for international tech giants, startups and investors, London Tech Week brings together the businesses and innovators shaping the future of AI and emerging technology. As the event continues to expand in scale and influence, Olympia's enhanced and adaptable event infrastructure enables the diverse formats required by a world-leading technology event, from large-scale exhibitions and conference content to secure VIP areas and networking spaces.

Creating success
Olympia Events worked closely with organisers, contractors and operational teams in the months ahead to deliver a safe and seamless event experience, that worked across multiple venues and formats. Leveraging Olympia's interconnected event spaces, London Tech Week expanded its event footprint and was carefully zoned to create distinct content and audience experiences, while maintaining intuitive visitor flow throughout the venue.
Each space was tailored to a specific audience and purpose, with The Grand Hall hosting Enterprise World, The National Hall becoming Startup World, West Hall – Upper transformed into the AI Arena and the ICC serving as the VIP Village. Organisers also utilised Nexus, a smaller meeting room within the ICC, for closed-door activations, including a full-day hackathon introduced for the first time in2026.
We see this as a long-term partnership and are excited about what we can achieve together over the coming years.
London Tech Week brings together the global technology ecosystem, so having a home where we can build a long-term identity and community is incredibly important. The ambition and expansion of Olympia mirrors our own ambitions for the event. The redevelopment has transformed Olympia into a world-class destination and gives us the platform to continue growing, diversifying and creating memorable, world-class experiences for our delegates. We see this as a long-term partnership and are excited about what we can achieve together over the coming years.

The results
Sincere locating to Olympia in 2024, the event has continued to demonstrate strong year-on-year growth, increasing attendance from 25,000 to 35,000 while expanding its footprint across Olympia's flexible event spaces.
Starting in The Grand Hall and West Hall - Upper, the event has grown into The National Hall and Central Hall, with further expansion planned into Olympia's International Convention Centre (ICC) for 2027 and 2028. The 2026 edition also marked a royal first, with HRH The Prince of Wales chairing a panel discussion on the use of data and technology to help prevent homelessness.
Having secured a multi-year agreement with Olympia through to 2028, the organisers are committed to growing the event alongside the destination, introducing expanded content programmes, enhanced networking opportunities and more interactive experiences across Olympia's enhanced facilities.
