Sir Nick Clegg

Nick Clegg brings a rare combination of political leadership, international experience and first-hand insight into the global technology industry. From the heart of British government to the upper echelons of Meta, his career has placed him at the centre of some of the most consequential debates of recent decades, from the future of Europe and the rise of populism to the power of social media and the challenges posed by artificial intelligence.

As leader of the Liberal Democrats, Nick broke the mould of British politics, taking his party into government for the first time in a century. Following the 2010 general election, he negotiated a historic coalition with the Conservative Party and became Deputy Prime Minister, serving during a period of profound economic and political uncertainty. His time in office offered a front-row perspective on the realities of governing, the complexities of coalition building and the difficult choices facing leaders in times of crisis.

Nick entered public life following an international career that included working on transport and trade policy at the European Commission. He subsequently represented the East Midlands in the European Parliament before being elected MP for Sheffield Hallam. Rising rapidly through the Liberal Democrats, he developed a reputation as a compelling communicator, reaching a much wider audience during the televised debates of the 2010 election campaign. As Deputy Prime Minister, he championed issues including civil liberties, social mobility, early childhood education and mental health, while navigating the political fallout of austerity and public spending cuts.

After nearly two decades in politics, Nick moved into the technology sector, joining Facebook, later Meta, as Vice-President of Global Affairs and Communications. His appointment brought an unusual political perspective to one of the world's most influential technology companies. Working at the intersection of technology, public policy and international relations, he gained direct experience of the challenges facing digital platforms as governments, societies and businesses grapple with questions of regulation, online speech, democratic accountability and the rapid development of AI.

A bestselling author and sought-after commentator, Nick Clegg has examined these themes across several books. Politics: Between the Extremes reflects on the demands of political leadership and argues for a more pragmatic, less polarised public discourse. How To Stop Brexit (And Make Britain Great Again) explores the political and economic consequences of the UK's departure from the European Union. In How to Save the Internet: The Threat to Global Connection in the Age of AI and Political Conflict, he considers the future of the internet and the forces reshaping global connectivity.

On stage, Nick combines behind-the-scenes political insight with a global perspective on business, technology and society. Candid about the decisions he has made and the lessons he has learned, he explores how leaders can navigate competing interests, communicate in an age of division and respond to an increasingly unpredictable world. His talks offer audiences a distinctive perspective on power, negotiation, technological change and the future of international cooperation.
