The Shaping Summit

We’re proud to be launching the Shaping Summit: a new annual gathering of 500+ leaders from across the city and region, designed to inspire, challenge and connect the people shaping Portsmouth’s future.

From 2027 onwards, this event will look and feel different, with a completely redesigned programme, high profile external keynote speakers bringing fresh insight from beyond the city, and a sharper focus on the real Portsmouth success stories delivering social value at scale. The Summit will still have the heart, warmth and partnership spirit our audiences know and love, but with a clearer purpose: to showcase impact, spark ambition and give partners direct opportunities to get more involved.
