Care Innovation Summit 2026 to Unite Sector Leaders Driving the Future of Care

The Care Innovation Summit is set to return in 2026, bringing together some of the most influential voices shaping the future of adult social care.

Taking place on 11 June 2026 at the Business Design Centre in London, the summit will welcome around 500 senior leaders, care providers, and policy makers for a day focused on innovation, growth, and sector transformation.

A More Focused, Leadership-Level Event

Unlike large-scale exhibitions, the Care Innovation Summit is intentionally designed as a high-level, strategy-driven event, attracting:

• C-level leaders
• Care home owners and directors
• Policy influencers
• Senior decision-makers across the sector

With a more intimate audience, the summit creates space for meaningful conversations, collaboration, and forward-thinking discussions that go beyond day-to-day operations.

Three Key Themes Shaping the Agenda

The 2026 programme is built around three core content streams:

• Future of Care – exploring trends, funding, and new business models
• Dementia Care – sharing practical strategies and research-led approaches
• Healthcare Design & Build – focusing on environments that improve outcomes

Through keynote sessions, panels, and interactive discussions, attendees will gain practical insights into how to strengthen their organisations and adapt to a rapidly changing landscape.

Innovation at the Heart of the Sector

From digital transformation to new care models, the summit places a strong emphasis on real, actionable innovation—not just ideas, but strategies providers can implement immediately.

The event also brings together a curated group of innovative suppliers, giving care leaders access to new solutions that can support both quality of care and operational efficiency.

Why It Matters

As the care sector continues to face pressure across workforce, funding, and regulation, events like the Care Innovation Summit are becoming increasingly important.

They provide a platform for:

• Sharing best practice
• Learning from sector leaders
• Building partnerships that drive long-term sustainability

With a strong focus on leadership and innovation, the summit is positioned as a key date for those looking to stay ahead of change.

The Daily Round Perspective

At The Daily Round, we see the Care Innovation Summit as a reflection of where the sector is heading—more collaborative, more strategic, and more focused on sustainable growth.

In a world where standing still is no longer an option, the ability to innovate, adapt, and lead has never been more critical.
