TubeFest, a video marketing conference for creators and entrepreneurs, returns to the Eastside Rooms in Birmingham, UK, on April 24, 2026, expanding to a two-day format for the first time in its three-year history. The event will feature speakers from YouTube and TikTok alongside practitioners in content creation, online business, and digital marketing.
Now in its third year, TubeFest operates across two dedicated stages: a Creator Stage and a Business Stage, positioning itself as a business-focused gathering rather than a fan- or celebrity-driven event.
YouTube and TikTok Take the Stage
Charles Kerr, YouTube’s Senior Strategic Partner Manager, will deliver the opening keynote, titled “The YouTube 2026 Game Plan: New Strategies for Creators & Entrepreneurs.”
Dan Considine, Strategic Partnerships & Business Development Lead at TikTok, will present “TikTok LIVE Creator Networks: Social Media’s Most Lucrative Secret,” focusing on monetization opportunities within TikTok LIVE.
The conference’s remaining speaker lineup includes Lara Acosta, Richard Moore, Adrian Salisbury, Katie Fawkes, Robin Waite, and several others, covering topics ranging from LinkedIn conversion to audience community building, voice and delivery coaching, and creator business scaling.
Two-Day Format Adds Workshops and Welcome Reception
The expanded format begins on Thursday, April 23, with five workshops running in parallel before the main conference day on Friday, April 24.
Ecamm, a live-streaming and video-production platform, will host Creator Camp UK, described as a full-day immersive experience focused on content creation, live streaming, and video production skills. The event marks the first time Ecamm has brought its Creator Camp format to the UK.
BookMagic AI, described as an award-winning app for writing business books, will facilitate a full-day workshop titled “Change Your Life; Write Your Book,” targeting entrepreneurs and creators seeking to produce a book. AllTheApps will power two additional sessions focused on agency growth using GoHighLevel and AI. Mindset coach Stephanie Ward will lead the fifth workshop, “Master Your Brain, Scale Your Business.”
The Thursday program closes with the inaugural “TubeFest Welcome Reception,” sponsored by Uscreen, running from 7 p.m. at the Eastside Rooms. The reception is open to workshop attendees, speakers, and early-arriving conference guests.
Conference Background
TubeFest founder Matthew Hughes launched the event in 2024 to bridge two audiences: creators who build audiences but face business challenges, and entrepreneurs who generate revenue but have limited experience with video content and distribution.
“Most creators don’t realize they’re already entrepreneurs,” Hughes said in a statement. “Being a creator is an entrepreneurial activity. TubeFest exists to help them unlock that potential, while giving business owners the marketing firepower they’ve been missing.”
Confidence coach and speaker Washington Ali will host the Creator Stage, and EnSpirit Global Ltd founder Baiju Solanki will host the Business Stage.
Sponsors and Logistics
GoHighLevel, an all-in-one marketing and CRM platform, is the headline sponsor of TubeFest 2026. Supporting sponsors include Elevate, Genius Link, Level UP Marketplace, Ecamm, BookMagic, and Spicy Brain Collective.
Tickets for both in-person and virtual attendance are available at tubefest.co.uk. Workshops and the Welcome Reception take place on April 23, with the main conference running on April 24 at the Eastside Rooms in Birmingham.
