Sifted Summit 2026

Sifted Summit is the Financial Times backed startup outlet's own conference, held every autumn in London. It brings together founders, investors, and startup operators from more than 60 countries for two days of what the organisers call real talk rather than polished pitches. The 2026 agenda covers AI, scaling between Europe and the US, and the state of venture capital, with speakers drawn from firms like Sequoia Capital, Atomico, and Accel. The crowd skews toward series A and later stage founders and the investors who back them.
