The theme for this year’s Conference Cumbria is ‘Together Towards Tomorrow’ and we’re delighted to announce our keynote speaker for this year’s Conference – Ugo Monye.
Broadcaster, presenter, and former professional rugby player Ugo is one of sports television’s brightest personalities.
Spending his entire playing career at Harlequins, with whom he won the Premiership and European Challenge Cup twice, Ugo represented England 14 times and was selected to tour South Africa with the British & Irish Lions.
His transition to television was immediate, becoming a key member of BT Sport’s leading rugby team, a captain on BBC One’s A Question of Sport, and presenting Rugby Special. In 2021, Ugo appeared on the iconic Strictly Come Dancing.
Ugo is a champion of diversity and equality, currently Chairing the RFU’s Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Group and acting as a trustee for both the Women’s Sport Trust and Restart.
Also speaking on the day will be Neil Jurd. Neil is the author of The Leadership Book, a TEDx speaker, and founder of training organisation and video platform Leader-Connect.
Neil believes leadership can be easily taught, easily learned, and easily applied. Neil specialises in leadership development, and his company work with a range of organisations including Sanofi, University of Sheffield and BDP Singapore Ports. Neil is an Entrepreneur in Residence at Lancaster University, a Fellow of the Institute of Leadership and recipient of both British Citizen Award and the OBE.
