The IEP Summit 2026 Networking Dinner Drinks Reception is proudly sponsored by Elevate Employment Services, a mission-driven organisation that knows the value of a good conversation – and doesn’t like to see people thirsty.
Taking place on the evening of Thursday 11 June at The Carlton, 116 Pall Mall, the Networking Dinner follows a full day of expert sessions and discussion at the IEP Summit 2026. It is an exclusive evening of fine dining, thought-provoking exchange, and the kind of informal connection that often leads to the most important partnerships.
“We enjoy sponsoring the drinks reception as we don’t like to see people thirsty,” said Elevate Employment Services, “and the drinks reception provides an invaluable setting for new partnerships and friendships to be founded.”
It is a characteristically warm sentiment from an organisation whose work is rooted in belief that people, given the right support, can transform their lives.
Elevate Employment Services is a mission-driven employability organisation that delivers high-quality support through key national programmes including the DWP Restart Scheme, National Careers Service and Jobs Growth Wales+, supporting adults back into employment and re-engaging young people not in education, employment or training (NEET).
The service specialises in assisting individuals facing significant barriers – including long-term unemployment, mental health challenges, care leavers, and ex-offenders – combining tailored employability guidance with holistic support to help clients build confidence, gain skills, and achieve sustainable, positive change.
In sponsoring the drinks reception, Elevate do what they do best: create the conditions in which people can come together, feel welcome, and take a step forward.
