YouthTV Connect 2026 - Networking for Future Business Leaders
About this Event
Are you aged 16 to 30 with a business idea, a side hustle, or a hunger to learn from people who have been where you want to go? YouthTV Connect is back for its second edition and this year it is bigger, bolder and better than ever.
YouthTV Connect brings together young people and established professionals for an afternoon of keynote speeches, a live panel session and genuine open networking. Whether you are just starting out or already building something, this event gives you the space to grow your network, gain real advice and connect with people who get it.
This year we are thrilled to be hosting YouthTV Connect at Bedford Heights, Bedford's premier business centre and one of the most exciting spaces in the county. Home to a thriving community of businesses, startups and entrepreneurs, Bedford Heights is where ideas become reality and ambition finds its home. There is no better setting for an event built around exactly that spirit.
This year's event features a keynote from Urban Judge FRSA, Founder and Group CEO of YouthTV Group CIC, who founded YouthTV at just 13 years old and has been building something remarkable ever since. More keynote speakers will be announced shortly, so keep an eye on YouthTV's social media.
The panel will feature a mix of young entrepreneurs and established business professionals, giving you the chance to ask the questions that matter most to you.
Tickets are just £5 (+booking fee) per person and spaces are strictly limited. Secure yours now.
