Bristol International Balloon Fiesta Business Breakfast
Taking place on Friday 7 August, from 5.30am to 9am, this year’s event will be hosted in partnership with Albert Goodman and IoD South West, and sponsored by Woven Films, CAB IT and Bristol Business Improvement District. The event is also supported by Business West, Bristol Junior Chamber of Commerce, Tech West England Advocates, and Bristol & West of England China Bureau.
Set against the magical backdrop of the Fiesta’s first mass ascent, guests will witness the 2026 Opening Ceremony while enjoying breakfast refreshments, before engaging with two thought-provoking discussions.
This year's theme, “The Sky’s the Limit”, considers the wider role that culture, creativity, hospitality and collaboration play in creating economic prosperity.
Panel 1 - ‘Building a city of opportunity’. This will explore how culture, creativity and placemaking contribute towards strong economies.
Panel 2 - 'The sky’s the limit'. This will examine how business can harness Bristol's cultural strengths to drive economic growth.
