2026 Keynote speaker: Livia Firth
Livia Firth is one of the most electrifying voices on the planet when it comes to the power of business to drive change.
You may be recalling glamorous celebrities at awards shows, on her creation, the Green Carpet.
Livia is renowned for creating compelling campaigns with global reach.
As founder of Eco-Age, and co-founder of The Circle advocacy group launched with Annie Lennox, she has spent decades proving that doing business with integrity isn't idealism, it's strategy.
Livia brings the kind of clarity, courage, and warmth that makes you leave a room genuinely believing things can be different, and that you're the person to make it happen.
Her session titled: Stop Eating at Your Desk, and Other Stories to Fall in Love with Change, will bring an inspiring and very human lens to transformation. And who isn't talking about transformation?!
Plenary Speaker:
Why Our Change Efforts Fail —Turning Strategies Into Successes
The gap between the ambition of change and actual outcomes is wider than ever.
Sustainable change requires relentless focus on what can feel insurmountable, by turning strategy into reality through people.
In this session gain insight into:
- How People Leaders can close the transformation value gap
- What it takes to activate your workforce, ensuring they're active agents of change, rather than employees experiencing change fatigue; and
- Why decision making must be transformed through alignment with other leaders.
