The Delegate Wranglers, the event industry’s most engaged community, is thrilled to announce the return of its flagship annual event: The DW Summit & Summer Party 2026. Taking place on Tuesday 25 August, 2026, this double-header event promises a day of high-level industry insights followed by the legendary summer celebration that has become a "must-attend" on the events calendar.
The first part of the day will be the DW Summit, featuring a lineup of trailblazing speakers, discussions and interactive sessions. Attendees can expect deep dives into the latest event trends, personal growth & productivity ideas and community-led growth strategies. It is a unique opportunity for suppliers and planners to connect in an environment that prioritizes authentic and pertinent discussions rather than your usual industry conference content.
After the summit, the serious talk makes way for the famous DW Summer Party - one of the the industry's do not miss events. The evening is the place for everyone to kick back and enjoy themselves - as well as developing those connections already made at the Summit. With entertainment, incredible food & drinks, and the best crowd in the business, it’s the perfect way to enjoy the summer.
