We’re bringing together some of the brightest business minds and giving them a platform to share the secrets of their success.

Why? We want to inspire new thinking and new ideas to grow our local economy.

UMF will be a series of business masterclasses held by experts in their respective fields, designed to enlighten and empower anyone looking for business or personal growth.

Since launching back in 2023, we've welcomed inspirational speakers, internationally acclaimed best-selling authors, as well as business experts across a number of disciplines to the Granite City.

They include TV presenter Davina McCall, ex-footballer and entrepreneur Gary Neville, artificial intelligence expert Nina Schick and Diary of a CEO host Steven Bartlett, as well as the creative forces behind some of the UK's most memorable marketing campaigns.

This year we are excited to welcome documentary maker Louis Theroux and actor and TV presenter James Corden. Tickets on sale at umf.events.
