We are delighted to announce that renowned international speaker, Anthony Bennett, known as ‘Miracle Man’, will be joining us as a keynote presenter. Following a very serious illness, he had to learn how to walk, talk and breathe again without the aid of machines, after contracting three virus infections at the same time. After what many would consider being a miracle, Anthony was given only a 10% chance or survival, but has made a full recovery and is inspiring businesses, schools, and organisations with his optimism and bubbly personality.
He was key in fundraising for Great Ormond Street Hospital, where he was treated and delights audiences wherever he goes. You can look him up on LinkedIn if you want to know more.
Our Iconic Venue: The Midland Hotel 🏛️
We are thrilled to be bringing the congress to one of Manchester’s most legendary landmarks.
- Where Innovation Was Born: On May 4, 1904, Charles Rolls and Henry Royce met for a famous lunch in the hotel’s Grill Room—a historic meeting that launched Rolls-Royce Limited! Look out for the commemorative plaque near the entrance when you arrive.
- A Masterpiece of History & Architecture: Built between 1898 and 1903 by the Midland Railway Company, this magnificent Grade II* listed building was designed as a “twentieth-century palace.” Crafted from warm red brick, polished granite, and striking Burmantofts terracotta, it stands today as a iconic example of Edwardian Baroque luxury.
Get ready for an inspiring few days of learning, connection, and history in the heart of Manchester. We can’t wait to see you there!
