Since his retirement from professional sport, Derek has become one of the world’s greatest motivational speakers, often discussing his inspiring story from the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, to motivate others.
He has recently been announced as the keynote speaker for SEO and content performance managers BrightEdge’s Share18 Global Insights Tour, which will be visiting locations in the UK and the US later this year. As experts in digital marketing, this year BrightEdge’s tour will be looking at how artificial intelligence has an impact on businesses. The events which will be taking place in New York, London and San Francisco will look at driving performance, digital marketing and content visiting.
Derek discussed what he’ll be bringing to the conference, saying: “Throughout the Share18 Global Insights Tour, I will be sharing real-life examples on how building and inspiring teams to be innovative in their thinking can impact personal and professional performance. In organisations and sports alike, it is vital that marketers have an awareness of not only their own role, but also put themselves in their customers’ shoes. The result is a shared experience and the ultimate win-win.”
Some of the speakers who will also be in attendance will be from global brands such as L’Oréal, IBM, Aviator Sports and Comcast.
