Cvent has confirmed that Davina McCall will deliver a keynote address at its annual conference, Cvent CONNECT Europe, scheduled to take place from 15 to 16 October 2025 at the InterContinental London at The O2.
Dermot O’Leary will return as master of ceremonies for a second consecutive year. The company stated that O’Leary will conduct interviews and lead on-stage segments during the event, including a live discussion with McCall.
The two-day conference, which includes an optional pre-conference day on 14 October, will be held in a hybrid format. The agenda includes more than 60 sessions aimed at professionals across the meetings, events and hospitality sectors. Cvent will also host in-person training workshops and invitation-only sessions as part of its pre-conference programming under the Cvent Academy banner.
According to Cvent, the programme is intended to offer education and networking opportunities across the industry, with a focus on practical strategies and insight sharing.
“Davina McCall’s dynamic career in television and impactful advocacy will bring compelling and authentic stories of resilience and personal achievement to the Cvent CONNECT Europe stage,” said Felicia Asiedu, marketing director for Europe at Cvent. “We’re equally excited to welcome back Dermot O’Leary as master of ceremonies, following his standout appearance last year. He is genuinely fascinated by our industry, having built great rapport with many attendees last year, and he’s thrilled to be back.”
McCall is scheduled to speak on personal experiences and professional milestones, as well as on topics related to wellbeing and workplace resilience. Her keynote will draw on her career in television and involvement in public health campaigns.
O’Leary, a broadcaster with experience across radio and television, is also set to facilitate multiple sessions across the two-day event.
