Speakers to Empower
Action
I’m Rory Archibald, founder of New Intent and a passionate advocate for using business events as a force for good. With two decades of experience in the business events industry, I’ve had the privilege of working across global markets to help reshape how we think about events, not just as economic drivers but as powerful platforms for social progress, equity, and climate action.
Through New Intent, I focus on reimagining our industry with purpose at the core. I speak on topics that matter: inclusive leadership, climate justice in the supply chain, meaningful allyship, the ethics of event design, and how we can move beyond token gestures to create real, measurable impact.
What sets me apart as a speaker is my willingness to ask difficult questions and bring often-overlooked voices into the conversation. I believe the events industry can lead in building a more just and sustainable world, but only if we dare to do things differently.
Whether I’m delivering a keynote, hosting a panel, or working directly with organisations, my goal is always the same: to inspire action, spark honest dialogue, and help leaders create lasting change.
If you’re looking for a speaker who brings both vision and lived experience and who will challenge your audience to think and lead with intention.
