LIFT will offer ambitious founders and progressive industry leaders practical advice and actionable insights to help them drive their companies forward.

So, whether you're a startup wanting to raise, a scaleup looking to disrupt, an established firm looking to diversify, or simply a great company wanting to grow, LIFT is set to be the must-attend gathering for Lancashire's dynamic business community.

Preston Partnership is proud to be the host sponsor for this new festival, which has been produced by LinkedIn - Innovate Lancashire, a LinkedIn - Lancashire County Council economic growth programme.

With a focus on actionable takeaways, the festival will bring together founders, business leaders and key influencers for a four-hour programme of keynote talks, fireside chats and panel discussions featuring entrepreneurs, investors, finance experts and tech sector specialists.

  • Arrival and Networking - 12pm to 1pm
