Our annual pilgrimage to Newcastle is over, and Atomicon is done for another year. We of course had a brilliant time, and we were even speakers at this one! So whether you went this year, are thinking about going in 2026, or want to make more of the experience next time, we hope this debrief episode will come in handy for you.

We’re not Atomicon newbies, so we feel like we really know how to get the most out of the event/party/festival (yes, it’s not really a conference!) and we don’t mean that you need to pack your day to the brim with the talks. Of course the talks are fantastic for picking up some actionable tips and inspiration, but we’re posing some questions around what else you might want to get out of the day. We’re also diving into who our favourite speaker was and common themes we noticed running throughout some of the talks – including ours!

Andrew & Pete’s Atomicon really is so unique and one of the best events you could ever go to as a small business owner – so we’ll look forward to seeing you there next year!

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

  • Why we love Andrew & Pete’s Atomicon so much
  • Our favourite speaker (hands down!)
  • How we think you can make the most of Atomicon next year
  • Surprising themes some talks had in common
