On April 23rd, senior leaders across app marketing, growth, product, CRM, and revenue will gather at The Brewery for Business of Apps London 2026. The event brings together decision-makers from leading apps and brands across eCommerce, fintech, health and fitness, and other key verticals of the mobile economy.

With over 80 speakers across eight content stages, this year’s agenda explores the strategies and operational frameworks shaping modern app growth. Across the programme, four key pillars stand out as defining how leading teams are approaching growth in 2026: AI-powered growth engines, retention-led strategy, multi-channel user acquisition, and revenue innovation.
