About London · October 2026

London's next month runs on hackathons, with the big conferences landing in November. Stripe Startups Build Day on Oct 15 is the one founders will recognize, with GP Bullhound Allstars the same day. Solana Breakpoint lands at Olympia on Nov 15 for three days, its first London edition and 8,000-plus builders, VCs and infra teams. FinTech Connect follows at ExCeL on Dec 1, with its StartUp Launchpad track worth a look, and London Tech Week returns Jun 7, 2027.
