The Meetings Show is calling for speakers to be part of its world-class education programme, a space where ideas will spark action and voices will inspire change.
The show will return to Excel London on 24–25 June 2026, where it will bring together thousands of meetings and events professionals from around the world.
Curated in partnership
with The Attendee Experience Company (atex), the 2026 programme for the two-day
Northstar Meetings Group show will once again deliver actionable learning
through inspiring and engaging sessions – from hands-on workshops and data-led
discussions to immersive storytelling and lively debate.
Further building on the success of this year’s highly rated sessions, the 2026
edition will focus on empowering event professionals to navigate the challenges
that matter most. Budgets are under strain, technology is evolving at rapid
speed, wellbeing is under pressure, and demonstrating the true value and impact
of meetings and events has never been more important.
The Meetings Show is seeking speakers with something powerful to share, and who can bring these conversations to life
– offering practical insight, future-focused ideas and tools that attendees can
apply immediately to strengthen their organisations and careers.
“We’re looking for bold thinkers and fresh perspectives, both from within the
events sector and beyond,” said The Meetings Show’s knowledge director, Samme
Allen. “Whether you’re an experienced leader or an emerging voice with a
powerful story to tell, this is your opportunity to connect with an audience
that’s actively seeking new ideas, practical solutions and inspiration.”
Jack Marczewski, portfolio event director, Northstar Meetings Group, said: “The
Meetings Show thrives on the sharing of ideas and experience. We’re looking for
speakers who can connect and empower delegates with insight, spark meaningful
conversations and contribute to real progress across the meetings and events
community. If you’ve got something to say and share that helps others to think
differently or work smarter, we want to hear from you.”
Speakers enjoy high visibility through the show’s marketing
and PR activity, extended reach via its Speaker Playbook and valuable networking opportunities across curated events and
exhibition-floor conversations.
To apply, speakers should submit a session title, a concise synopsis of what
delegates will gain, and their preferred presentation format here.
Applications close at 17:30 on Friday 16 January 2026.
