GradFest

18-19 November 2025

2024 saw the invention and mind-blowing launch of GradFest! With a competitive job market, increasing student fees and the cost of living crisis, Gen Z has been more impacted by circumstances out of their control than any other. GradFest swooped in to save the day, empowering fresh graduates to flip that post-uni panic into pure productivity!

With over 60 hiring organisations on board, our main stage turned into a knowledge bonanza! We had everything from money wisdom courtesy of Pennies to Pounds (featured on BBC’s ‘Wake Up to Money’) to career hacks from The Graduate Coach. JD Sports brought well-being workshops, Huzzle tackled those post-uni blues, and LinkedIn served up a masterclass for Gen Z—plus so much more! Attendees snagged free CV advice, mingled in our networking lounge, and even had a shot at winning a whopping £5,000 in tax-free cash!

Over 6,000 enthusiastic graduates strutted out feeling like rockstars, making GradFest our biggest launch ever! So, mark your calendars—after such a monumental success, GradFest will be back in 2025, not just in London but also in Birmingham! We’re ready to empower even MORE graduates with two action-packed stages featuring industry experts, networking opportunities galore, and all the inspiration you can handle.

One day at GradFest could turn a fresh graduates dreams into reality!
