JLA’s Speakers Breakfasts give event organisers and producers a free opportunity to see speakers in action before making a booking. Each year we host a Spring and Autumn season to showcase motivators, trends experts and business leaders – as well as the latest ‘movers and shakers’ and exciting new names to join the circuit.

Will Obama Save The World And Will Murdoch Save The Newspaper Industry?
Before joining Radio 4’s Today programme Justin Webb secured the only British TV interview with President Obama in The White House. Justin described some of the difficulties facing Obama, what singles him out from previous incumbents and how his incredible self-belief sometimes fails to translate into effectiveness on the ground. The former BBC North America Editor also told the JLA audience how and why he came to fall in love with the USA.
Eve Pollard told stories from her ringside seat as the acknowledged ‘First Lady of Fleet Street.’ She spoke about the crises facing the press, from the debate about charging for web-based news to the danger of losing regional papers – finishing with wonderful tips on how to get your story into the business pages.
