What People Say
I've been wanting to attend for longer than I care to admit - it exceeded every expectation I had. Every speaker showed up fully - sharp, prepared, and genuinely passionate about what they shared. My heart is full of joy and my brain is buzzing with new ideas on how to put everything we shared into practice.
The energy of the attendees was incredible, and the sessions were each better than the last. I’m returning with my luggage full of a python in Excel "cloud" of knowledge about Excel and Python, and my batteries fully charged!
Two intense and inspiring days, organised flawlessly. The sessions were extremely insightful and I’m coming back with new ideas, renewed energy… and the confirmation that the greatest value of these events lies in the relationships we build.
Well I did a thing....for the third year in a row! The Summit showed off the best and brightest of Excel uses and amazing tricks. The entire shindig was put together to celebrate everything Excel and let's just say that the vibe was off the charts.
The speaker quality was amazing and it's true what they say about community, connection and opportunity.
Thanks to the organisers - top event, top venue, top people, you enabled the SME's, Champions and decision makers to come together, share and learn - thank you!
This week was proof that the excel community is simply awesome. Special thanks to Danielle Stein Fairhurst and Carolina Lago for the masterclasses!! See you all at next year's Global Excel Summit 2027.
Thank you to the GES team for a fantastic event. It struck that perfect balance of being both educational and genuinely entertaining, with plenty of laughs alongside the insights, tips, and real food for thought.
I had the privilege of attending the Global Excel Summit 2026 in London! It was an unbelievable experience, connecting with people I truly admire and sharing knowledge with like-minded professionals from around the world.
The Soho Place Theatre in London was grand and spectacular. But this was not the Oscars, it was the Global Excel Summit. People travelled from all over the world to learn, exchange ideas, and socialise.”
Had an amazing time in London. It’s not every day that you get to connect with such inspiring individuals who are so passionate and driven. The energy, the conversations, and the shared experiences made it truly unforgettable. Looking forward to 2026!”
An exceptional event for anyone passionate about Excel and its evolving ecosystem. As an Excel pro and financial modeller, I appreciated the depth of topics covered. It was inspiring to exchange ideas with experts who are pushing the boundaries of Excel and AI. Looking forward to the next one!
The event was superb! From the speakers to the opportunities to meet other people with the same interests as you. It really is a fantastic event for anyone who loves Excel, and I would highly recommend attending.
Meeting some of the biggest names in financial modelling and data analytics, hearing their insights firsthand, and learning modern practices that can elevate the way we build models was truly inspiring.
Global Excel Summit means you can pick one person in the room, at random, and start babbling about Excel - without the risk of being pepper sprayed. How cool is that?!
The level of learning and potential to expand on knowledge was second-to-none! Wide variety of topics and knowledge building and amazing speakers and hosts!
Stunning! It was great to have an opportunity to mingle with so many of my Excel heroes as well as with other participants from all over the world who just love Excel.
This was an amazing experience.It was my first time participating (only Day 3), but I got a lot of useful knowledge about Excel, Power Query, and Power BI!
Really good, organisation brilliant, speakers very good!
It was an amazing experience which helped me improve my finance & Excel skills and look at things in a different way.
The venue was really great, and all the MVPs presenting a theme was a good idea. Having MVPs talk about different aspects of the same subject gave us multiple views of it.
