In partnership with world-leading financial, tech and cultural organisations, the UK Government’s GREAT Britain and Northern Ireland Campaign is holding a major expo in Los Angeles, California from 18th – 22nd May, 2026.
With investments exceeding $1.5 trillion in each other’s economies and a $413bn trading relationship that supports 2.6 million jobs across both countries, the US-UK partnership is vital for both sides of the Atlantic. Greater Together LA will showcase how US-UK partnerships can continue to drive economic growth and to shape our collective future.
The event will be supported by presenting partners British Airways and American Airlines, with prominent political and corporate delegates flying to Los Angeles on a specially designated British Airways charter flight.

The TSL Business Lounge will provide opportunities for deal-making and PwC will sponsor the Expo’s two-day thought leadership summit, with the theme ‘Unexpected Connections’.
