We’re proud to be the Headline Partner for LEAD 2026 – the advertising industry’s flagship summit run by the Advertising Association (with IPA and ISBA).
LEAD is returning on 5 February 2026 at the QEII Centre, Westminster, and will bring together over 450 senior leaders from politics, media and advertising to shape the the year ahead. LEAD 2026 will dive into the political outlook, the state of public trust in advertising, and how we can unlock new growth via creativity, AI and responsible leadership.
This special edition marks the Advertising Association’s centenary, and its theme, ‘Leadership through trust’, feels especially meaningful. We believe in the power of trust, how audiences return to content they believe in, how brands can lead by ethical example, and how the industry can build stronger bridges between creators, media, and people.
As a platform built by many of the media brands where audiences go to be inspired, informed and entertained every day, we see firsthand how trust is earned. As aptly put by our CEO, Damon:

“We’re proud to take a leadership role in fighting for a more sustainable and equitable ad-funded future for those that put these real human connections at the heart of their business”.
Damon Reeve, Ozone CEO
