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.
SHOWING ALL NOVEMBER 2011
Darling-Lambert
The morning after George Osborne's Autumn Statement, we heard from two speakers perfectly placed to assess the current position and the likely impact on both business and the public sector...
As Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alistair Darling had previously warned an interviewer that "the economic times we're facing are arguably the worst for 60 years." He was subsequently widely praised for measures which helped prevent recession spiralling into depression. Alistair's book, Back From The Brink, has just been published - with the first print run selling out in days.
Until last January Sir Richard Lambert served as Director General of the CBI. He was previously Editor-in-Chief of the Financial Times, and the first non-economist appointed a full-time external member of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee. He was also the first person the new Chancellor telephoned when the election result become known.

Into The Future
Three extraordinary speakers peered into the future in three very different ways...
Andrew Neil considered the repercussions of the turbulence in Europe and America, the policy alternatives and their likely impact on business. The captivating Swedish futurist and TED favourite Magnus Lindkvist questioned many of our old assumptions about how our domestic and working lives will change; and Baroness Susan Greenfield explored some of the risks associated with technology and the enormous gains on the horizon in her own field of neuroscience and pharmacology.
