Barn to Boardroom is back for 2026!
After all the practical, take-back-to-the-office-and-use insight gained at last year’s 10th anniversary B2B, we are flinging open the barn doors again on Wednesday 1st July 2026.
For B2B11 we’re diving into the theme of ‘Influencing with Impact.’
We’ll explore how you can harness your inner influence to improve outcomes not just for your organisation but for you and your team, too.
Expect cutting through the crap insight and practical solutions in a space where you can share your knowledge, learn and collaborate with others.
If you’ve been to B2B before you’ll know there’s always time to chat and network with your fellow IC, HR and Employee Brand peers and colleagues – often over a drink and one of our famous BBQ burgers (veggie/vegan options too!)
Our consistently brilliant reviews each year mean tickets are snapped up quick, so please don’t miss out, register here to get yours. Need ticket registration link

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.
