We’re partnering with Supplied to bring packaging and fulfilment expertise to Ideas Fest 2026

We’re partnering with Supplied, our strategic packaging partner, to bring a dedicated packaging and fulfilment experience to Ideas Fest 2026, taking place 9th – 10th  September at Champneys, Tring, Hertfordshire.

For founders and senior brand leaders, packaging and fulfilment can feel complex. Though they’re critical to creating a brand that looks great, delivers smoothly and scales efficiently. Together with Supplied, we’ll show how these often-overlooked elements can become real strategic advantages for your business.

“Our community is full of founders building physical products and direct-to-consumer experiences” said Frankie James, Founder of Ideas Fest. “Packaging is more than a box, it’s part of your brand story and customer journey. By partnering with Supplied and IFGlobal, founders can get practical, transparent guidance across both packaging and fulfilment from people who live and breathe this every day.”

What you’ll get at Ideas Fest

Across both days, we’ll be sharing practical, hands-on content, including:

• Packaging strategy insights. How packaging supports customer experience, brand positioning, and growth, with logistics guiding your decisions from the very start.

• Design-to-delivery walkthroughs. Real examples showing how packaging is scoped, designed, manufactured, and fulfilled, and which choices matter most for cost, scalability, and delivery.

• Live problem-solving sessions. Bring your packaging or fulfilment challenges and get advice from our experts, with actionable, real-world solutions.

• Supplier, fulfilment and costing transparency. Understand how suppliers, warehousing, and fulfilment costs work together and how to build an efficient supply chain aligned with your brand values.

“Working with Supplied lets us bring founders practical, end-to-end expertise in packaging and fulfilment,” says Dan Thompson, Commercial and Partnerships Manager at IFGlobal. “At Ideas Fest, we’ll help founders see how these critical areas can not only support growth but also become a defining part of their brand.”

Gareth Walker, Co-Founder of Supplied, adds: “Partnering with Supplied and IFGlobal means founders will learn how packaging and fulfilment can move from being operational necessities to real growth drivers that delight customers and support long-term scale.”

We’re excited to announce Mark Rushmore, Co-Founder of Suri, as a headline speaker at Ideas Fest. Mark will also be joining us in the Supplied and IFGlobal event space to share insights on building, growing and scaling a modern consumer brand, drawing on Suri’s journey as one of the UK’s most exciting toothbrush brands. More details on Mark’s session topic and timings will be announced soon, but attendees can expect an insights-led conversation packed with valuable lessons for founders looking to scale with impact.
