Conference & Agenda

What you will experience

JEWC26 is where the JE Movement becomes visible. It is five days of people you will want to keep in your life, inspiration you can take home and use, and moments that remind you why you joined your Junior Enterprise in the first place. Expect real learning, real energy, and the kind of conversations that turn into collaborations afterwards.

The detailed timetable and confirmed speaker line up will be published once confirmations are finalised.

Core programme formats

• Magnas (Plenaries) Unifying moments where the full conference comes together, designed to set the ambition and the energy.
  The plenaries are built to feel bigger than your usual event moment. You get a shared storyline, a shared focus, and a collective energy that carries into workshops and evenings. It is also where the movement looks and feels like a movement, not just a group of associations.
• Workshops Skill based sessions designed for depth and practical outcomes, from hard skills to leadership and certifications.
  Workshops are structured to be useful on any work day, not just inspiring at the conference. Expect tools, frameworks, and practice, plus formats that make it easier to meet the right people in smaller groups, with real space to ask and learn.
• Benchmarking sessions Benchmarking is how you shortcut years of trial and error, with practical takeaways you can implement.
  Benchmarking is how you shortcut years of trial and error. You get concrete practices, templates, and routines that have already worked elsewhere, and you leave with contact points you can call afterwards when you implement at home.
• Talks, Panels, Discussions High impact formats that connect ideas with experience, and bring multiple viewpoints into the same room.
  These formats are built for your perspective. You get the “why”, the “how”, and the honest “what we learned the hard way”. It is where you calibrate your ambition, upgrade your thinking, and spot trends from thought leaders that matter for the next cycle of your Junior Enterprise.
• Partner engagement Company fair, partner led moments, and one to one conversations, built to turn curiosity into opportunity.
  Partner engagement is designed to be more than brand exposure. Expect structured touchpoints, clear pathways for follow up, and formats where you can move from “nice to meet you” to “here is what we should do next”, whether that is a collaboration, recruitment, or a real project conversation.
• Evening experiences Traditional ENEJ parties, partner networking dinners, and alumni moments that turn the conference into something you will not forget.
  Evenings are where the network goes from formal to informal. It is the simplest way to build trust fast, meet outside your usual circles, and create the kind of memories that make people come back year after year, and bring their friends next time.
