About this event

The Royal Observatory is excited to host the Presenter Network conference 2023. This one-day event will have lectures and workshops run by members of the network. We have a extremely excited for our line up this year and can't wait for you to join us!

The Presenter Network was set up in 2014 by the Royal Observatory Greenwich as a way for presenters to share best practices, as well as watch other presenters in action. Since then, we have run regular meet-ups alongside other organisations covering every aspect of presenting you could ever imagine: using comedy effectively, working with challenging audience members, how to look after your voice and everything in between!

Our Guest Speaker: Paul Canoville

We are pleased to announce that Paul Canoville will be our guest speaker! Paul Canoville is an ex-professional footballer who has faced extreme hardships throughout his life, and in 2015 began a Foundation dedicated to supporting young people facing adversity.

“Canners” is regarded by Chelsea fans as a cult hero and by the wider football community as a pioneer. Paul is proud to have been Chelsea Football Club’s first black first team player, but his journey has been fraught with challenges including homelessness, racist abuse, addiction, serious illness and the loss of a child.

Today, The Paul Canoville Foundation works alongside many organisations globally, supporting thousands of young people through the lens of Paul’s inspirational story, with the vision of creating a society where every young person CAN achieve their full potential. As part of the Foundation offer, he personally visits school pupils to deliver motivational talks and workshops based on his lived experiences including; anti-racism, fulfilling ambition, overcoming adversity, social mobility, making it in football, homelessness and so much more.
