Welcome to B2B10 – Leaders Unplugged!
We’re going all out in 2025 on the 3rd of July, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Barn to Boardroom in style.
This year is all about collaboration and working together to solve the challenges and issues put forward by a panel of senior leaders.
It offers lots of insight and practical things you can take back to your business and start implementing. It’s also a brilliant opportunity to share your knowledge, learn, and collaborate with others.
Of course, it wouldn’t be B2B without the chance to chat and network with your IC, HR, and Employee Brand peers and colleagues over a glass or two and one of our famous BBQ-cooked burgers.
The brilliant five-star reviews we get each year mean tickets are snapped up fast. To get yours and save £100 in our early bird offer, register here.
This offer only lasts until 31st January.
We can’t wait for you to join us at B2B10 Leaders Unplugged!

Barn to Boardroom is held in a converted barn in Lurgashall, just outside of Haslemere. Attendees will find it best to arrive around 11.30am, with plenty of parking you can drive here, get dropped off or with Haslemere Station nearby, lifts can be arranged.
12:00 – 17:00
We’ve invited senior leaders to join us so you can hear firsthand what they need from internal communications, their challenges and issues, and how we, as IC pros can help solve them. You’ll have the chance to team up with like-minded peers to create a big idea to smash the challenges our panel of senior leaders propose.
17:00 onwards
The Surgery’s famous HamburgerBarn® BBQ will be ready at 5pm for all you meat eaters and plant lovers, with a bar & local tipple tasting too!

Diehard city girl ditched stilettos for sneakers for today’s #BarnToBoardroom. Took away invaluable insights – and tips can’t wait to use. Glorious farm – could make a country girl of me yet!

Barn to Boardroom 2023! ❤️ Had the usual internal convos with myself beforehand – e.g. I’ve got too much on, networking… eugh… but it was so worth it. Had some great chats – the dreaded networking was actually fine – and the speakers were superb.

Building partnerships with fantastic people is one of the joys of my job. Yesterday I was with our friends The Surgery for their annual Barn to Boardroom event. The topic was listening and leadership, with great speakers covering Viva Engage for building trust and creating frameworks for how to manage employee activism.

Yesterday was a homecoming of sorts at the Barn to Boardroom event. It’s truly a safe haven for us internal communicators – a place where we can connect, learn, and let loose (treasure hunt or do-si-do anyone? 😉).

Morgan Thomas and I had a lovely day at #BarntoBoardroom with the amazing The Surgery team yesterday. #BarntoBoardroom is always a lovely day as it’s a setting that encourages you to be present and in the moment which I love – plus there are always great burgers and gin and this year a treasure hunt(!) for even more memorable networking moments.
