Connected Britain 2027 at ExCeL London

Connected Britain is the UK's flagship digital economy event, bringing together 8,000 industry experts, innovators and policymakers under one roof at ExCeL London. For two days in September, the entire UK connectivity ecosystem — from major carriers and altnets to national and local government — converges to debate the how and why of improving broadband coverage across the country. The programme spans 14 content themes delivered by over 450 speakers, alongside 300 exhibitors and 40 startups. Attendees include C-level executives from BT, VodafoneThree, Openreach, CityFibre, Virgin Media O2 and TalkTalk, plus ministers and public sector decision-makers responsible for digital infrastructure. Beyond the conference stages, Connected Britain offers structured networking through a pre-event meeting tool, an awards ceremony and dedicated zones for skills, recruitment and startup innovation. It is widely regarded as the must-attend annual gathering for anyone selling into, regulating or building the UK's fibre and 5G future.
