SXSW London is back in 2026 with a fresh batch of expert speakers lined up.

Ben & Jerry’s ice cream co-founder Ben Cohen will make an appearance to discuss freeing his socially-oriented brand from Unilever and how social mission remains at the heart of commercial success, the conference confirmed Wednesday.
