The Like Minds Conference is our bi-annual flagship event where participants from around the world gather in Exeter, Devon to connect with new ideas and new faces in order to put innovation into action.

Accessible, inspiring, and empowering, the Like Minds Conference is a rare opportunity to meet world class experts, local leaders, and like-minded individuals from diverse walks of life.

At Like Minds Conference 2010, 350 physical participants and over 1,500 virtual participants engaged with each other over the course of 6 keynotes and 6 panels from 30 leaders in people-to-people and social media - ranging from the world’s foremost experts to the local practitioners who are on the front lines in businesses and charities.

Perhaps most distinctive was the sense of community throughout the day. 21 Like Minds Lunch Time Talks took place at 21 restaurants across the city, where speakers and attendees chatted face-to-face over lunch and drinks in small intimate groups of 10.

The outcome? International coverage, features in the Guardian, changed businesses, inspired individuals, and over £100,000 raised for the local economy through Like Minds.
