Leadership Series

Bailey Fisher’s Leadership Series brings together top entrepreneurs, investors & influencers from the technology sector, with inspirational individuals from other walks of life, to share ideas and celebrate successes.

We’ve welcomed over 4,000 guests to almost 100 events, from roundtable dinners & panel discussions to prestigious receptions at the House of Lords. We’ve highlighted a few of our previous speakers & topics to give you a flavour of the Leadership Series.

Please note that due to the impact of COVID-19 we have taken the decision to postpone all of our Leadership Series events until further notice.
