At ClimbUK, we have always believed in the power of voices that challenge, inspire, and move the needle. Over the years, our stages have welcomed an incredible mix of thinkers and doers, from Andy Moss with his ‘Honey, I Blew Up The Business’ bold and raw session at Climb23, to Jennifer Byrne unforgettable Climb24 fireside chat on building a life and career full of adventures, to Tessa Sanderson’s powerful conversation on having a winning mindset on and off the track at Climb25, and Richard Harpin’s “How to Make a Billion in 9 Steps” session that redefined what it means to lead with purpose. Most recently at Climb26, voices like Tracy Brabin and Louis Taylor helped open the Summit Stage with a vision for regional growth and investment, while Volker Hirsch explored what comes next in AI, Jonny Peacock shared lessons from elite performance under pressure, and founders and operators like Chris Kenna, Sharon Fuller, and Charlie Curson brought real, hard-earned insight on scaling, leadership, and building businesses that last. These speakers, and many more, have helped shape the ClimbUK community into what it is today: a space where ideas meet action.

Climb27 will continue this tradition with a dynamic agenda designed to spark conversation and drive change. Expect a mix of formats across our spaces: from high-energy panels and punchy fireside chats on the Summit Stage, to deep-dive sessions in the Sector Stages and lively Expo Area and Zones, to hands-on Masterclasses, Roundtables, and ClimbHealth spotlights. Whether you’re sharing a case study, leading a discussion, or hosting a masterclass, there’s a space for every voice to be heard.

We’re looking for speakers who bring fresh thinking, lived experience, and bold ideas. You might be a founder, a frontline innovator, a policy shaper, or a community builder, what matters most is your story and your impact. You can apply to speak via the form below, or we may reach out directly if we think your voice belongs on a Climb stage. From there, we’ll guide you through every step, from confirmation to session assignment, host introductions, and your speaker pack.
