What we do

We design, organise, and facilitate exceptional events to help companies deliver on their goals. Whether it’s global conferences, corporate away days, or even leadership and team building expeditions around the world, we provide a full range of support to ensure your event runs smoothly. As expert hosts, speakers and facilitators ourselves, we know what it takes to deliver memorable events.

While we are not a speaker agency, we work with some of the best known speakers in the world; Olympic gold medallists, CEOs, world record holders, deep subject matter experts, motivational speakers, film and TV stars... all of whom we know personally. We manage the process end to end, from initial outreach and contracting, to briefing and payments, making the process simple and transparent for our clients.

With our comprehensive approach to events, we create unforgettable experiences that motivate and leave a lasting impact on your teams and stakeholders.

Conferences and events

We help our clients deliver major events such as conferences, client events, onboarding and corporate away days. From major events with thousands of people, to smaller team building events, we support our clients as trusted partners to design and deliver events that audiences really remember.

Guest speaking

In addition to offering our co-founders Bear Grylls and Paul Gurney as keynote speakers, we help companies to find and secure world-class speakers to engage their audiences. We are privileged to work with some of the most iconic and inspiring individuals across the globe. Our end-to-end service covers every aspect - from identifying and contracting speakers to briefing and managing payments. We ensure a seamless and transparent process that gives our clients access to powerful voices who can transform both training and events.

Corporate expeditions

The best learning is rarely in a meeting room or conference centre. That's often just where it begins. We run international expeditions to places such as Kilimanjaro, Mount Kenya and Mount Toubkal (Morocco); trips designed explicity to build teams, leadership and resilience in unique and challenging environments. Our expertly guided adventures not only strengthen teams but also inspire individuals to push beyond their limits, creating lasting personal and professional growth.

Our focus is on transparency and clear communication throughout, and we ensure every event is tailored to your needs and delivers lasting impact. By combining creativity, expertise, and seamless execution, we create events that inspire and engage, helping companies deliver extraordinary experiences.

Why BecomingX

Our execution

We don't just advise or plan. We deliver. We design agendas and create content. We brief speakers and AV teams. We personally deliver sessions and facilitate on stage. As we are intimately involved in every aspect, we ensure that every event we support is a resounding success, from concept to delivery.

It's not (just) what we know

We're privileged to work with some of the biggest inspirational speakers in the world. We know them personally. With an extensive 'black book' of contacts, we are trusted by both companies and guest speakers to broker appearances quickly and effectively.

Transparency

The speaking industry is complex and opaque. Speaker agencies + personal agents = huge fees + protracted negotiations. We know the market and we personally know the guest speakers we recommend. We know their teams, their typical fees and how they work, allowing us to have very open conversations with all parties that provides confidence, and delivers results for everyone.
