Back for 2026: Cerebral Valley AI Summit Hosted by Volley & Newcomer

The Brief

Following the success of last year’s event, our client returned to deliver the 2026 Cerebral Valley AI Summit, hosted by Volley and Newcomer. Building on the previous year’s achievements, they wanted to create a more exclusive experience for 200 guests in London, with enhanced branding, a dedicated set-up day and elevated production throughout.

The event featured keynote speeches, fireside chats, breakout discussions and networking opportunities, while additional digital branding, bespoke sponsor SWAG, and a dedicated on-site editor capturing media-style photography ensured the summit felt bigger, bolder and even more impactful than before.

The Venue: 180 Studios

Having explored alternative venues, the Cerebral Valley team chose to return to 180 Studios, confident it was the ideal setting to build on the event’s success.

This year, they exclusively hired the venue, making full use of the impressive Atrium space and its expansive digital screens to create a more immersive, branded experience. The venue offered a seamless environment for guests to connect, collaborate and enjoy the summit.

A bespoke DJ station and custom-branded coffee station further elevated the guest experience, creating engaging moments beyond the main stage.
