ABOUT UPPER CLASH
Upper Clash is a roundtable and panel event series for consumer brand founders, management teams, investors and advisors. Each discussion and networking session welcomes 15-25 leaders.
Through Q&As, briefings and panel discussions, our sessions examine the decisions and disciplines that shape enterprise value as consumer brands scale. Industry leaders share experience led perspectives for businesses raising external capital, expanding into new markets and channels, or preparing for exit.
Our events take place in London and are produced by Leon Bailey-Green. See the Events page for details of the latest sessions. For any enquiries, including sponsorship opportunities, please get in touch via the Contact page.
