York Annual Dinner 2026: Business in Motion

Business doesn’t stand still - and neither do the organisations that succeed.

Join us for the York Annual Dinner, an inspiring evening focused on Business in Motion. Through an expertly moderated panel discussion, we’ll explore how businesses are adapting, evolving, and staying competitive in a fast-changing world.

Hear from respected business leaders and industry specialists as they share candid insights, real-world experiences, and fresh perspectives on innovation, resilience, and sustainable growth. Expect a conversation that is insightful, engaging, and expertly delivered, created to educate, motivate, and captivate.

Guests will also have the opportunity to enter a raffle in support of the York Chamber charity, OSCAR's Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity.

An evening of insight, connection, and conversation, celebrating businesses that keep moving forward.
