Downtown in Business will host its third annual Change Makers Live conference on Thursday 2nd October 2025 at the new Everton FC stadium at Bramley Moore Dock.

The event will bring together over 100 business leaders from across the country, with innovators, disruptors, entrepreneurs, and government ministers among the keynote speakers.

The conference takes place during the week of the Labour Party conference, and DIB Group chairman and chief executive Frank McKenna said:

“It is great that we will be hosting this year’s Change Makers Live at such an iconic venue. In terms of innovation, there is no better example than the fantastic facility that Everton and Laing O’Rourke have built on Liverpool’s iconic waterfront, and we are really looking forward to showcasing not just the new stadium, but also some of the very best innovators, entrepreneurs, and thinkers from across the UK.

“The event will take place just as Labour’s conference ends, and so we will also be able to reflect on what the government has said about their ambitions and support for business during their get together.”
