The agenda’s filters show how many sessions were tagged to each (2026 agenda).
The agenda also grouped sessions into themed tracks. The busiest were Visionaries (26 sessions), Applied AI (23), Enterprise Resilience (19), Enterprise Reinvented and Data & AI Excellence (17 each), and Capital & Growth and People & Culture (16 each). Smaller tracks included a Quantum Showcase (10), Planet & Life Sciences (15), SpaceTech & Robotics (13) and Industrial Sovereignty (8).

The agenda’s opening session on 8 June also featured the Mayor of London, Sir Sadiq Khan, in conversation with Brent Hoberman and Baroness Martha Lane Fox (London Tech Week; 2026 agenda).

Why London hosts a tech week
London has the depth to support it. The government’s latest AI sector study, published on 29 October 2026, found that 51.4% of UK AI companies have a London registered office, that the number of UK AI companies identified rose 79% to 10,488 in 2025, and that AI-related revenue grew 41% to £33.6 billion (DSIT AI sector study 2025).

How to plan London Tech Week 2027

- Pick your sessions once the 2027 agenda is published, by track and stage.
- Book meetings early. LTW Connect combines pre-event matching with on-site bookings through the app.

Editor’s note: what changed in this update
On 11 November 2026 we rewrote this page. The 2024 version was a preview of that year’s event, naming expected speakers, including Rishi Sunak, who has since left office as Prime Minister, and linking to an outside quantum explainer. We replaced it with the organiser’s current dates and 2026 figures, charts built from the 2026 agenda, the LTW365 events and a planning guide, and swapped the stock images for licensed photos. We kept our link to the technology events guide.
