About the Event
Finally, Two Immersive Days
for Founders & CEO's
Two days designed for founders who want to move faster through the scale-up journey by making better decisions and avoiding costly mistakes.
This is THE event where experienced entrepreneurs gain clarity, connections and confidence by learning directly from people who have already built, scaled, and exited businesses worth millions.
Two days that reveal what usually takes years of blood, sweat, and tears to learn and the connections you need to scale up.
2-Day Immersive Event
Founders & CEOs Only
Learn From Proven Exits
Step Up. Level Up. Take Control.
This isn't just another business conference it's an event. Learn from top experts, connect with like-minded peers, and engage with CEOs, visionaries, and industry leaders all on one unforgettable stage.
Level Up
Ambition isn't your problem uncertainty is. Connect with entrepreneurs and leaders who've already navigated the noise, so you know exactly who to trust, what to focus on, and what to leave behind.
Take Control
As you scale, your most valuable resource isn't money it's your time and attention. Leave with the CEO mindset, clarity, and momentum to drive your business to new levels of revenue and profitability.
Why it matters now
This Isn't Just Another Business Conference.
Why the Scale UP Summit exists and why it matters now more than ever!
The old economy is officially dead – and new rules are being written about what it takes to start, scale and sell a business so you can live a life free from stress, worry and overworking.
There are new sales strategies, new technologies and new opportunities to tap into, but ONLY if you get your head out of being a day-to-day operator and step into the owner you know you have the potential to become!
You see, I know that at this stage, ambition isn't the problem. What slows growth is uncertainty:
What slows growth is uncertainty:
- Which decisions matter most
- What to focus on now
- What to ignore
- Who to listen to and trust
As businesses scale up, the real cost isn't effort or money…
It's your time and attention!The Scale UP Summit exists to compress your learning curve, to build your CEO skills and to help you drive growth to new levels of revenue and profitability.

Paul Avins
Founder · Scale UP Summit
Why I Started the
Scale UP Summit
Dear Fellow Founder and CEO,
After coaching and training entrepreneurs just like you for over 20 years to build, scale, and sell their businesses, I was frustrated by the lack of real scale up events.
So in 2023 we started this event with the intention to share REAL life stories and strategies from REAL Founders building REAL businesses making REAL Profits.
The events industry is built on big promises and celebrity names then forcing you to sit through generic advice from lightweight speakers selling you their latest £2k course on how to "get rich" on the latest trend.
I hate that, and I'll bet you do as well it wastes your money and more importantly, your time. It usually just confuses you about what you really need to do next to accelerate your growth on the Scale Up Journey.
I only put REAL Entrepreneurs, Founders, and CEOs on stage who have started, scaled up, or sold real businesses.
They don't just talk about it they are LIVING it day to day, just like you.
Dealing with Government Tax changes, rising costs, difficult team members, and constant cash flow challenges and they have continued to Scale UP!
Speakers
Who's Speaking?
We don't just hire big names for the sake of it. We put people on our stage who are actively 'doing the do' and know exactly what it takes to be thriving TODAY!
Hear inspiring stories & lessons from expert speakers and fellow CEO's who are crushing it across various industries. Each training has been carefully curated to give you the exact actionable steps you need to take away to turn this event into the best financial decision you'll make all year PLUS network & make powerful connections that will last a lifetime.
