For two days, London became a meeting point for leaders whose work spans industries and continents. The Global Business Conclave, 2026 by GCEIP and White Page brought together 125 accomplished delegates from more than 15 countries on 22 and 23 September for conversations, connections and a celebration of achievement at the House of Lords and the Victory Services Club.
The gathering began at the House of Lords, where networking tea, interviews and a recognition ceremony gave delegates time to meet beyond their professional circles. The following day, the Conclave moved to Carisbrooke Hall at the Victory Services Club. Speakers explored leadership and transformation before the programme turned to the people and organisations being honoured.
The Conclave welcomed distinguished guests from public life and diplomacy. They included the Rt Hon Stephen McPartland, former UK Minister of State for Security; Lord Kulveer Ranger; Lord Taylor of Warwick; Richard Barnes, former Deputy Mayor of London; Safiya Saeed, former Lord Mayor of Sheffield; Naima Ali, former Mayor of Southwark; Mina Parmar, Deputy Mayor of Harrow; and John Grogan, former Member of Parliament.
