OUR 2017 LINE-UP

Our speakers are movers, shakers, trailblazers and change makers, all selected because they stand for something so much bigger than just their achievements.

If it's true that you're a reflection of the people you spend your time with, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All of our speakers will be with throughout the weekend, mingling and sharing ideas even when they're not on stage. With comedy and music in the evenings, along with all-day chats around the campfire, you'll never get a collection of people like this in one place, outside of Yestival!

The great thing about Yestival is that the speakers don't just rock up for 30 minutes, do their thing and then leave. They'll be lurking next to you in the dinner queue (in a non creepy way), sitting next to the fire, popping into the podcast tent for a live 5-minute interview, just enjoying the festival as you are.

The message is clear: yes, they've done something cool and that's why they get the stage for a while, but they're also normal, they're human, we're all ordinary but capable of the extraordinary. 

In 2017 we have a brilliant line-up of over 30 brilliant humans (big and small), and we'll slowly drip feed them onto this page in the weeks leading up to Yestival.

We've got some speakers back from previous Yestivals only if they've done something new, but there are also lots and lots of new faces. Each of them a wonderful example of what can happen when you act on one, wonderful decision.

Speakers, workshops, one-on-ones, live interviews and skill sessions, get ready for an amazing weekend!
