In 2026 we will bring you the companions and rivals who have shaped history.
Speakers will explore friendships that changed the course of events, rivalries that pushed people to greatness or to ruin and partnerships that proved stronger than armies.
Roundtables on unlikely alliances and spirited debates about history’s fiercest rivalries are sure to delight and intrigue.
Intelligent Speech is a veritable three ring circus of content, composed of four virtual “rooms” running 40 minute sessions simultaneously. In one of the said rooms, the session consists of a roundtable discussion and Q&A with our hand-selected panellists. In the regular sessions, a fascinating online personality will present a topic of their choice, followed by a lively Q&A with the audience. These Q&As, together with space and time for separate chats, create a unique experience in which members of the community can engage directly with the creators they follow. The day’s festivities are punctuated by sessions in which our esteemed keynote speakers present their thoughts.
The Intelligent Speech Conference is an action-packed, intense, one-day online event with trailblazing Keynotes alongside new and exciting independent shows to discover.
For 2025, we have already secured some great names in history podcasting and content creation as Keynotes.
