Mark Agnew
We’ll kick off the 2026 event with an inspiring keynote from one of the UK’s leading adventurers, Mark Agnew.
Mark is a two time record setting adventurer and was named European Adventurer of the Year in 2023 for his historic 103-day expedition kayaking the Arctic’s Northwest Passage.
As part of the 1,600-mile, human-powered challenge he had to overcome severe weather as well as polar bear threats. This formed the basis of his ‘Find Your Polar Bear’ framework which he now shares with audiences to help build resilience and teamwork.
Previous keynote speakers have included Bonita Norris, Sean Conway, Alex Danson MBE, Baroness Tani Grey-Thompson, Chrissie Wellington OBE, Lowri Morgan and Chris Lewis.
