London · Late January 2027 · Partnership Enquiries Open
London has ideas. Three days to make them real.
London Venture Run is a three-day, cross-industry build festival where founders, designers, filmmakers, technologists, writers, artists, operators, and community builders form teams and turn early ideas into tangible first versions.
The 2027 programme is in development. Exact dates, venues, passes, and individual event registrations will be released on Luma as they are confirmed.
The format
One city. Three days. One first version.
Take an idea from possibility to something people can see, use, watch, read, join, or respond to. The format is structured, but the outcome is yours.
Day 1
Find & Form
Bring an idea or discover one. Meet collaborators, choose a direction, define the problem, and agree what a credible first version looks like.
Planned formats: Opening, idea exchange, team formation, problem framing, customer discovery, track introductions, evening social.
Day 2
Make & Test
Build with focused work time, practical workshops, tools, mentors, and early feedback.
Planned formats: Build blocks, tool labs, specialist workshops, mentor clinics, peer tests, community sessions.
Day 3
Refine & Share
Improve the work, tell the story clearly, share a demo or showcase, and leave with a next-step plan.
Planned formats: Refinement, storytelling, feedback, demos/showcase, next-step connections, closing.
Participate
Choose the level that fits.
Full LVR Pass
Join the complete three-day build journey and all programming marked "Included with LVR Pass". Limited sessions may still require a separate reservation.
Individual Events
Attend selected public workshops, talks, socials, and showcases without joining the full build run. Each event page states whether booking is required.
Help Build LVR
Sponsor a track, host a venue or session, bring a community, speak, mentor, judge, document, or amplify the work.
Tracks
Different disciplines. Shared momentum.
Tracks help people discover relevant sessions and collaborators. They are not boxes, judging categories, or limits on what a team may create.
Startups & Technology
Apps, AI tools, platforms, services, and new venture models.
Design, Brands & Products
Identities, services, objects, fashion, food, packaging, and physical prototypes.
Film, Media & Creator Economy
Short films, series concepts, campaigns, formats, and audience-led media.
Arts, Culture & Publishing
Books, zines, research, installations, performance, and cultural projects.
Experiences & Communities
Events, exhibitions, learning formats, collectives, and social initiatives.
Open Track
Work that crosses disciplines or does not have a category yet.
Programme
The programme is taking shape.
Expect build blocks, team formation, customer discovery, tool labs, creative workshops, mentor clinics, community-hosted sessions, talks, social gatherings, and a final showcase. We will publish each confirmed event with its time, venue, host, accessibility information, capacity, and Luma registration link.
Collaboration & Momentum
Build together in focused time
Whether you arrive with an established team, meet collaborators on Day 1, or build solo with mentor clinics and community feedback, London Venture Run gives you the structured rhythm to create a tangible first version.
Partnership
Help London make what comes next.
London Venture Run is being built with organisations that can put useful tools, expertise, space, access, audiences, and resources directly into the making. Partnership should create participant value—not just logo placement.
- Sponsor a programme track or practical challenge
- Host a venue, workshop, studio, or social
- Equip teams with tools, materials, credits, or production support
- Contribute speakers, mentors, judges, or specialist clinics
- Help promising work continue through media, community, recruitment, or funding pathways
Programme, audience, and activation plans are agreed with each partner. Any reach figures shown are planning targets until the event has taken place.
