A major highlight of this year’s event will be a special appearance by Gary Neville, former Manchester United footballer and now a prominent entrepreneur and broadcaster. As the headline speaker, Neville will take the stage in the BDA Theatre on Saturday at 11:30 a.m. for an inspiring fireside chat. Known for his remarkable career under Sir Alex Ferguson and his seamless transition into business, Neville brings powerful lessons in leadership, collaboration and resilience. He will share insights from his journey—from the football pitch to building a hospitality brand, launching a higher education institution and investing in major property developments. His message is expected to resonate deeply with dental professionals looking to scale their businesses, energise their teams and lead with purpose.

Alex Harden, portfolio director at CloserStill Media, which organises BDCDS, remarked: “Gary’s journey from football legend to business guru makes him a true icon. His presence will add extraordinary value to an already standout programme.” Neville’s guest appearance on the BBC’s Dragons’ Den and his bestselling book The People’s Game: How to Save Football further cement his reputation as a forward-thinking leader.
