The side event schedule

We’re thrilled to announce that side events are coming to Sifted Summit 2025.

Taking place outside of the core event timings, these sessions give you the chance to connect with the wider ecosystem beyond Magazine London.

We’re taking networking to the next level — but remember, you’ll need a Summit ticket to attend.

Registrations for all side events are via the Sifted Summit app.

Here are just some of the side events going on:
