What Reset Connect does

Reset Connect Ltd. is a privately held UK events and community platform, founded in 2021 and headquartered in Kennington, London, that organizes sustainability and net-zero conferences, exhibitions and year-round community programming. The company operates two flagship annual events - Reset Connect London at ExCeL London (the flagship event of London Climate Action Week, 22-23 June 2027) and the newer Reset Connect North at the Royal Armouries in Leeds (inaugurated March 2026 with KPMG as headline sponsor and West Yorkshire Combined Authority as strategic partner) - targeting senior business leaders, investors, climate-focused start-ups and scale-ups, and government policymakers. Across both editions the platform aggregates 10,000+ attendees, 3,000+ VIPs and investors, 500+ speakers and 450+ exhibitors from organizations including SBTi, KPMG, FCA, EBRD, HSBC UK, National Grid, Microsoft, WWF and Ørsted.

The product surface combines multi-stage conference content, themed exhibition hubs (Net Zero Business, Finance & Investment, Energy & Tech, Cities/Communities/Nature, Start-ups/Scale-ups), the Pitch & Invest Programme with Startup World Cup finals access, and VIP workshops and roundtables. The underlying digital layer is the third-party Grip Networking Platform & App, which provides mutual-consent profile sharing, badge scanning, and AI-assisted matchmaking based on attendee demographics and activity. Between flagship events, Reset Connect runs a monthly programme of workshops and networking events hosted by partners including Algbra, BeBetter Sustainability, GSK, M&G, Temenos/Protean, Terra.do, Vivobarefoot and others.

Revenue is generated through three streams: exhibition booth and sponsorship packages (quote-based with multi-year contracts structured on a 40/30/30 payment schedule over the event cycle), tiered delegate passes (VIP delegates, growth attendees, vendor passes, press and student rates), and VIP workshops and roundtables. The company has no disclosed external investors, no parent company, and operates with a lean team of around 13 named professionals led by CEO & Co-Founder Duncan Reid. The operating geography is the United Kingdom only.
