Business Conferences, Events & Keynote Speakers
Tailored Motivational Corporate Conferences & Events
So much money is spent on corporate annual conferences and team events which often deliver a lack of ROI. When many organisations only bring their people together once or twice a year, we see this as an often-overlooked opportunity to land key strategic messages and align and engage your people.
At Will It Make The Boat Go Faster?, we design and deliver unforgettable, impactful experiences that inspire your people and turn motivation into actionable changes to people’s performance. We support you in designing an entirely bespoke approach and ensure your event is both remarkable and memorable for years to come.
With our experience of over 10,000 events, we combine world class keynote speakers with highly practical high-performance workshops to motivate any employee, wherever they sit in your business. Drawing on our vast experience, we create business events that equip people with the mindset and practical tools to improve how they work and deliver greater impact in their role. We get your people pulling in the same direction to shift the dial.

Who Can Benefit from a Business Conference or Event Partner?
We’ve helped design conferences for companies of all shapes and sizes. Our clients come to us with queries that range from:
- Executive teams seeking to unite people behind a common goal
- HR, L&D and internal comms teams planning inspiring annual or quarterly events
- Leaders who want motivational speakers and practical workshops that deliver long-term impact
- Global or hybrid teams who need connection, alignment and renewed energy
Our Approach to Working With You on Your Company Event
We collaborate with you at every stage to ensure your event achieves its purpose and delivers value.
- Briefing call – We start by understanding your audience, objectives and desired outcomes. What do you want people to Think, Feel, Do? (this could be slotting in to your existing agenda, through to designing the entire day for you so you don’t have to worry about it!)
- Design & co-create – Together we build a bespoke conference flow, combining keynotes, workshops and interactive sessions that fit your goals and aspirations.
- Delivery – Our expert speakers and facilitators bring the day to life – virtually or in person – creating powerful moments and landing key messaging in a way that inspires action.
- Embed – We help you translate inspiration into everyday performance, ensuring the momentum continues post-event.
Having the WIMTBGF team onboard gave our leadership event just the style and gravitas we were seeking. The team took the time to find out exactly what we were trying to achieve and worked with us to design a truly engaging event.
Ready to Create an Unforgettable Event?
Whether you’re planning a global leadership summit, an annual company conference, or a virtual motivational event, we’ll help you design something remarkable.
We received fantastic support from the Will It Make The Boat Go Faster? team! From booking the speaker, to organising the pre-event meeting, and sending the required resources to the venue, everything was managed brilliantly. Thank you!
We design and deliver a full range of corporate conferences, leadership events, offsites and keynote speeches focused on performance, execution and mindset. We offer specific one-off speeches, to speeches plus workshops, to full-day conference design. Events can be standalone or part of a broader performance programme.
We do both. Some organisations engage us purely for a keynote speaker, while others work with us to design and deliver a full event experience aligned to their objectives.
While our events are engaging and inspiring, they are designed to drive performance rather than simply short-term motivation. The focus is on practical insight that leaders and teams can apply immediately.
Yes. Many organisations use events as a catalyst for wider performance or leadership programmes – to ensure energy translates into sustained action.
Audiences can vary. Our speakers have a wide range of experience of everything from a tight-knit group of leaders through to 10,000s at company all-hands meetings. These can typically include senior leaders, leadership teams, managers and wider employee populations. Events are tailored to the audience and organisational context.
Yes. We are sector-agnostic and work with organisations around the world.
All events are tailored to the organisation’s goals, audience and context. The level of customisation is agreed during the planning phase.
