Top business leaders from around the world have been confirmed as speakers for the all-keynote 2025 HCM Summit.

The event will be chaired by Humphrey Cobbold, chair of PureGym.

Cobbold said: "The HCM Summit provides a powerful opportunity to bring together global experts and innovators in health, fitness, and wellness.

"I've always believed that by sharing knowledge, exploring emerging trends and building meaningful connections, we’re not only advancing the industry, but we can also learn great lessons for our businesses. And, of course, we'll be inspiring impactful change that supports healthier lives and stronger communities around the world."

Building on the success of last year’s event, the line-up will be:

Russell Barnes, CEO of David Lloyd Leisure

Anna Bjurstam, strategic advisor and wellness pioneer at Six Senses

Greg Oliver, CEO and MD of Fitness and Lifestyle Group

Martin Seibold, CEO of LifeFit Group

Alice John, Director, Deloitte

Neil Randall, CEO of Urban Gym Group

Rebecca Passmore, group COO at Puregym

Juan del Rio, CEO of VivaGym Group

Marc Magliacano, managing partner at L Catterton

Sophie Lawler, CEO of Total Fitness

Oli Patrick, co-founder of Pillar Wellbeing

Peter Bundey, CEO of GLL

Angela Rippon CBE, broadcaster

“We’re grateful to Humphrey Cobbold and our speakers for being open to sharing their expertise and insights,” says HCM editor, Liz Terry. “The health, fitness and wellness market is coming of age and HCM is absolutely committed to supporting and championing the excellent organisations driving it forward.

"The summit sees us gathering our HCM community together and we look forward to welcoming our friendship circle of readers, clients, stakeholders, partners and editorial board members to the summit to connect, share, celebrate and do business.

The summit will return to the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre in Westminster, London and will take place on 23 October.

Alongside the summit will be a curated exhibition showcasing the latest innovations, plenty of networking opportunities, including the HCM Summit After Party hosted by Les Mills, product sampling and book signings.

EGYM is Platinum Partner for the event and the summit live stream and will be showing EGYM Genius and its AI-driven equipment.

Other key partners already engaged include Wellhub, JK Group, Technogym and Fitness Genes.

The event was a sell-out in its first year – 2024 – so we suggest booking early to both secure the super early bird rate and to be assured of your place. Book your tickets at www.HCMsummit.live
