Join us for an inspiring live edition of our In Conversation Series with Geoff Thompson, as we celebrate the launch of his new book BBB (we’ve had to shorten the title - come along to find out why!).
In a Chamber first, Clive Memmott OBE will sit down with Geoff for an exclusive interview, giving us a unique opportunity to hear about his remarkable journey of resilience, service, and his unwavering commitment to tackling racism, inequality, and disadvantage through the transformative power of sport and culture.
Geoff will share how his path as a World Karate Champion not only offered protection in hostile environments but instilled a lifelong discipline and sense of empowerment. From this foundation, Geoff became a leading advocate for sport as a catalyst for social change, campaigning tirelessly, advising on youth development, and serving seven Prime Ministers. His dedication to political and social activism continues to shape communities and inspire change.
This event brings together community, commerce, and culture to celebrate Geoff, his book, and the spirit of our city-region. Don’t miss this extraordinary conversation.
