This Years Guest Keynote Speaker:
STACEY COPELAND
Stacey Copeland has represented her country in two sports, football and boxing. As a footballer, she represented England U18, played in the women’s Premier League, and also competed abroad in America, Brazil and Sweden. As a boxer, she won a European silver medal before turning professional and making history in 2018 when she became the first British woman to win the Commonwealth title.
In 2017, she founded Pave The Way, a charity which aims to challenge gender stereotypes of girls, boys, men and women; she also features in ‘Game On’, a documentary about women’s sport which airs on Netflix and Sky.
Stacey is an experienced public speaker and has spoken at the European Parliament, the United Nations, and delivered two TED talks. Since retiring from sport, Stacey has moved into broadcasting as a boxing commentator, and radio and TV presenter on the BBC, ITV and Sky Sports and in February 2025, she became the first female ever to commentate on boxing on BBC 5Live.
