Night Time Economy Summit 2026 brought together the people who shape our cities after dark — operators, artists, policymakers, suppliers, campaigners and innovators from across the UK and beyond.
Over two days in Liverpool, we hosted the largest Night Time Economy event in Europe. Six stages. Hundreds of speakers. Thousands of conversations. Big ideas. Honest debate. Real solutions.
From safeguarding and inclusion to licensing, live music, business rates, employment rights and the future of cultural spaces, NTES26 tackled the issues that matter most to our sector right now. The energy in the room was powerful —-not just discussion, but action. Not just challenges, but collaboration.
- To every speaker who shared their expertise.
- To every delegate who travelled, contributed and challenged.
- To every partner and supporter who helped make it happen.
Thank you.
This summit exists because of the community behind it. Your voice, your experience and your commitment to improving nightlife is what drives this movement forward.
