The third speaker for this year’s Leadership Convention has been announced today.

Christopher Key, a leading West End actor and director, has joined an impressive line-up that already includes polar explorer Craig Mathieson and public sector leader and former Chief Executive of Barnado’s, Sir Martin Narey.

Chris Key has performed in Les Miserables as the lead, Jean Valjean, to packed audiences on stage and is currently the resident director on the London production (The Queen’s Theatre) and the associate director worldwide.

He has worked with senior leadership teams across a wide range of organisations - including the FA. He is part of a new wave of speakers using their experience in the creative sector to draw relevant and timely lessons for other sectors. At the convention, Chris will talk about motivating and eliciting elite performances on a regular basis and the challenges this creates.

Taking place at the Crowne Plaza, Nottingham on the 3-4 November, the Alliance’s Leadership Convention 2015 is the only event designed to provide top tier executives and non-execs in sport with the space, insight and opportunities to network and continue their development as leaders.

Building on our Fit for the Future report, this year’s Convention theme will focus on leading the future.

Over two days, delegates will be challenged and exposed to various ideas and concepts from a great array of speakers that can inform their way of thinking and how they approach leadership.
An early-bird discount is available until 26 August, with additional packages for CEOs and Chairs who attend together.
