The ultimate event for working parents
Inspiring speakers. Honest conversations. Meaningful connections.
What is BROOD Live?
BROOD Live is a full-day experience designed for working parents, parentpreneurs and small business owners who want practical inspiration, proper connection, and a confidence boost. It's the event where business meets family life — and both are celebrated.
Hosted by BROOD Magazine, the UK's leading publication for working parents, BROOD Live brings together a room of 200+ people who understand the juggle — and are building something meaningful alongside it.
Entrepreneurs, bestselling authors, TV personalities and experts who've built success while raising families. Real stories, real takeaways.
The stuff nobody talks about — guilt, burnout, money, ambition, identity. We go there, together, in a room full of people who get it.
Not awkward networking. Genuine friendships and collaborations that start over coffee and last for years.
Leave with clarity, confidence and a plan. Plus the energy of 200+ working parents who are all rooting for each other.
Be the first to hear about upcoming events, speakers and early-bird tickets.

About the day
The day was about more than business, networking, or success on paper. It was about real conversations, honest experiences, and the people behind the ambition.
At BROOD, we have always believed there is power in the juggle — balancing careers, parenthood, relationships, growth, identity, and the everyday realities that so often go unseen. The event brought together a community of people building meaningful lives and businesses whilst navigating the pressures that come with showing up for others every single day.
It was a full day out for working parents, parentpreneurs and small business owners who wanted practical inspiration, proper connection, and a confidence boost.
Whether you're building a business, growing your career, or just craving a day that feels like you again, BROOD Live is your reminder that you're not doing this alone — and that you can do big things alongside family life.

In Their Words
What an event. @broodmagazine curated something very special today. A room full of parentpreneurs all managing two of the most volatile environments known to the human race. Parenthood and Business.
Being in a room filled with other entrepreneurial parents — grafting like mad whilst juggling their Brood was glorious. I felt less alone to be honest. Parenting can feel lonely at times. The support network Brood are building is awesome.
Loved hosting the 1st ever @broodmagazine LIVE. An afternoon of inspirational speakers and mental well-being for parents coping with the juggle struggle of kids and full time jobs.
