Creative Operations Summit London 2026
Join 300+ professionals in London for this year's Creative Operations Summit event – speakers from Diageo, BBC, and Deliveroo already confirmed.
The Creative Operations community takes centre stage once again. Process rebels, innovation architects, and fearless creators will come together to challenge norms, rethink systems, and redefine the future of creative work.
This year, we’re celebrating those who question “how it’s always been done,” who turn friction into flow, and who prove that structure can fuel, not stifle, imagination.
As creative work scales, systems tighten, and AI reshapes how we operate, what happens when you Dare to be Different?
Expect stories that break the mould, strategies that spark smarter ways of working, and conversations that push the boundaries of what Creative Ops can be.
Join the leaders, innovators, and quiet disruptors redefining what’s possible at the intersection of People, Process, and Technology.

What others say
This was my third year attending, and once again, I was truly impressed by the quality of the speakers, the relevance of the topics, and the insightful focus on creative operations. A big thank you to HS for organizing such a fantastic conference. As I probably said last year—I already can’t wait for the next one!
What an absolute honour and privilege to have attended the Creative Operations Summit. Such a great environment to be able to connect with other creative ops people and have meaningful conversations on the value add to what we do. Already looking to the 2026 agenda!
HS Creative Operations events provide me with the opportunity to collaborate with diverse teams, exchange innovative ideas, and explore new ways of working that can enhance creativity, streamline processes, and inspire future solutions for evolving challenges in the creative industry.
