SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE

38th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: PROFESSIONALISING INNOVATION 

Weds 5th and Thurs 6th November 2025

The ideasUK 2025 Conference explored this year’s powerful theme: Professionalising Innovation. Innovation is no longer just about spontaneous ideas or one-off projects, it’s about creating the right skills, structures, and culture that make innovation a core capability within every organisation. This year, we delved into how businesses can move beyond ad-hoc creativity and start embedding innovation as a strategic, measurable discipline based on our ethos as an organisation:

ENLIGHTEN by encouraging you to think beyond boundaries

ENHANCE your innovation programme through consultancy, training and bespoke support

EMPOWER you through developing expertise to drive a culture of innovation 

ENGAGE across sectors to share good practice 

Getting people together to exchange views has always been a primary aim of ideasUK.

It was great meeting so many of our member organisations at this years 38th International Conference.

Plus watch a selection of conference photos to gain a flavour of the event!
