Eurovision 2026
(92 Speakers — Moments of Influence Calendar | 12–16 May 2026)
The Strategic Power of Collective Energy
Every spring, the Eurovision Song Contest proves a simple truth: joy has power. For one week, as the contest arrives at the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna, Europe drops its shoulders, steps into sequins, and remembers what play, creativity, and collective energy feel like. It is flamboyant, unpredictable, and gloriously unserious, and in the 2026 business landscape, that is exactly why it works.
Eurovision offers a reminder many organisations need: fun is not a distraction from performance; it is a catalyst for it. In a high-pressure world, "United by Music" is more than a slogan, it is a masterclass in psychological safety and the human edge.
The 92 Selection: Catalysts of Connection
At 92 Speakers, we curate the voices who bring this same confidence, colour, and connection to your stage. Our collective includes hosts and creative thinkers who understand how to spark energy and lift a room:
For events requiring a blend of high-stakes authority and infectious energy, we suggest Reverend Richard Coles or Gyles Brandreth. Richard, in particular, offers a brilliant perspective on the intersection of pop culture and purpose, having navigated the transition from 80s pop stardom to the clergy. Gyles is a master of wit who can command a room of thousands with effortless charisma. If your goal is to explore the mechanics of creativity and "performing under pressure," Matthew Luhn provides the Pixar-perfect roadmap for emotional engagement, while Alex Brooker brings a unique, lighthearted perspective on resilience and the power of unconventional thinking. To truly elevate the atmosphere, Tony Hadley and Toyah Willcox offer the ultimate crossover of legendary performance and professional storytelling, proving that in business, as on the Eurovision stage, people engage with energy, not just information.
Performance as Fuel: Loosening the Edges
Eurovision is entertainment, yes; but it is also a masterclass in confidence, presence, and emotional connection. Each performer must hold a room of millions, deliver under intense scrutiny, and express something only they can bring. Swap the stage for a boardroom or conference hall, and the lesson remains the same: energy creates buy-in.
For leaders planning strategy days or global summits, this moment is a nudge to introduce play and add rhythm. When teams laugh together, they trust faster. When an environment welcomes personality instead of flattening it, you get ideas that actually land. A touch of the Eurovision spirit, colour, courage, and humour, can transform a functional gathering into an unforgettable cultural milestone.
In a high-performance world, fun isn’t frivolous; it’s fuel.
