Channel-only marketplace and software provider Giacom will bring its partner community together for the third annual Imagine Nation on 17 September 2026, with the event moving to fabric London for a reimagined celebration inspired by 1990s club culture.

The 2026 line-up will be headlined by legendary dance music DJ Judge Jules, with further sets from K-Klass, BBC Radio 1 DJ Charlie Hedges and Fusion Girls. Live performances will include tributes to The Prodigy, Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Stone Roses.

Since its launch in 2024, Imagine Nation has established itself as one of the channel’s most distinctive partner events. There are no presentations, sales pitches or formal agenda. Instead, the event gives partners an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, meet their peers and spend time with the Giacom team in a relaxed setting.

Imagine Nation was named Best Partner Event – Distributor at the 2026 CRN Sales and Marketing Awards for the 2025 event, which brought together around 1,000 people from across the channel for an evening of networking, entertainment and celebration on London’s South Bank.

This year’s event moves from London’s South Bank to fabric and takes inspiration from the music and club culture of the 1990s. The new setting will offer a more immersive experience while retaining the informal atmosphere and focus on entertainment that have defined Imagine Nation over its first two years.

Terry O’Brien, CEO at Giacom, said: “Imagine Nation started with a simple idea to create an event that was entirely about thanking our partners and bringing the community together. The response over the past two years has been fantastic, so we wanted to build on what people already love while giving them something new to look forward to.

“Fabric is the perfect setting for this year’s event. It gives us the opportunity to draw on the music and club culture of the 1990s, with a brilliant line-up led by Judge Jules, while creating the same relaxed atmosphere that has made Imagine Nation so popular.”

Imagine Nation: Reimagined is supported by gold sponsors CityFibre, Barracuda, BT Wholesale and EE, alongside silver sponsors Acronis, Voiceflex, Fidelity Energy and Huntress.

Terry O’Brien added: “Our sponsors play an important part in making Imagine Nation possible. We’re very grateful to them for supporting the event and helping us create another memorable experience for our partners.”
