O2 Guildhall Southampton Hosts GO! Southampton's Night-Time Economy Conference

O2 Guildhall Southampton was honoured to host GO! Southampton’s Night-Time Economy Conference on Monday 19 January 2026. The first time that this event has been held at the historic venue, it was a fantastic opportunity for a variety of local businesses across the night-time and hospitality sectors in Southampton to connect.

Providing insightful workshops, training opportunities and an extensive line-up of industry specialists and guest speakers, the conference builds on GO! Southampton’s quarterly Licensing Link meetings, offering a newly expanded programme and increased access and connection.

“It was a fantastic opportunity to host GO! Southampton for a more expansive Licensing Link Meeting at our venue. The event featured an impressive line-up of speakers, a diverse range of stalls, and excellent engagement throughout. A special thank you to GO! Southampton for organising such a successful and insightful conference!” – Hugo Gerbrandij, Deputy Venue Manager, O2 Guildhall Southampton

“Enabling businesses in the evening and night-time to get together to discuss, collaborate and find solutions at a time when they need it most is a top priority for us. We hope to grow this conference in future years and continue supporting our businesses and the industry.” - Jade McCauley, Operations Manager at GO! Southampton
