The 2025 Speaker Summit and Speaker Awards are taking place in London again on Friday 11th July 2025

The online launch party for The Speaker Summit 2025 is taking place on the 7th February and if you interested in attending please see the details on the webpage.

One of the most consistent things in business is change. Sometimes, you can see change coming, and other times, it is hard to predict. Many people are prone to fear or be wary of change.

Here are just a few speakers who offer their insights into why we fear change and how we can embrace it and navigate our way through it.

James Poulter is a distinguished digital marketing professional and technology expert and Head of AI & Innovation at House 337 and is a thought-leader and speaker on Innovation Culture, the Future of Work and Emerging Technologies including AI.

James has also been asked to talk on his entrepreneurial journey and has developed a new speech covering his start up story and how you can be your own innovator called “Understanding the Innovator’s Mindset: A Guide for Business Leaders”

As we enter 2025, we wanted to share our thoughts on what we expect could be some of the more popular speaking topics for the year ahead.

While we continue to receive a wide variety of enquiries about different subjects, we have seen either a steady rise in enquiries for these topics or a general level of consistency for them.   

This is our last speaker news of the year and this month we feature feedback on Josh Littlejohn MBE, Sally Orange MBE, Danny Crates, Shahin Sadafi and Dan Edwards; we welcome Courtney Orange and Katherine Baldwin to the website; we have updates from Ayo Sokale and Will Njobvu and feature some news on Alex Wood and Anne Wafula Strike MBE.

Our December 2024 speaker book of the month is “Iron 105: 105 Full Iron Distance Triathlons in a Row” by endurance athlete and speaker Sean Conway.

In the winter of 2021 Sean decided on attempting the impossible – to complete one of the most gruelling endurance challenges the world has ever seen. Could he swim 2.4 miles, then cycle 112 miles and then run a marathon, every single day, for 105 days.

Another year is coming to an end and I wanted to say thank you to all the clients who have worked with us and put their trust in us. We are incredibly grateful.

It has also been nice to have been involved in more events outside the UK this year, with speakers working in New York, Australia, Dubai, Chicago and Hong Kong to name a few.

Lastly I wanted take this opportunity to thank all the speakers who have worked with us this year. You are our shop window – so thank you for doing such great jobs for us.

It has been great to work with such a variety of speakers this year and wanted to leave you with the list of our top 5 most booked speakers this year. We look forward to working with next year.

In the last year or so we have had enquiries from clients for speakers who can share their own lived experiences on the menopause, dealing with grief, and mental health.

We have also had a recent a few enquiries around being a parent and managing that work/life balance and the importance of a supportive family.

These are few speakers we work with who talk on their experiences of being a parent and their own struggles and how they managed their work/life balance.
