🎤 Announcing our headline speakers for Naidex South: Annabelle and Harrison Davis!

We’re delighted to welcome Annabelle and Harrison Davis to the Naidex South stage at Farnborough International on 9 September.

Together, they’ll take us through the story of how their dad, Warwick, got his big break at just 11 years old, and how his experiences helped create similar opportunities for Annabelle and Harrison growing up.

They’ll also share their own dreams and ambitions beyond acting, where they are now and where they hope the next few years will take them.

Expect personal stories, honest insights and conversations around accessibility in their different industries, including how things have changed and progressed over the years.

It’s set to be a fascinating and inspiring session — and one you won’t want to miss.
