Speakers Only - Day 1 (Wednesday, 5th November)
Speakers Only is a platform where every voice matters. Launched in 2024 at Saracens StoneX Stadium, each of the 50 participants contributed to 10 panels designed to amplify diverse, original perspectives.
In 2025 we’re doing it again with an entirely new roster, sticking to our ambitions to truly cultivate and amplify new voices. This time at Wembley Stadium and Box Park Wembley in partnership with the Global Institute of Sport and Sixes Social Cricket.
I've put together a doc with more important information about the event - here.
