Scientist, explorer, presenter and filmmaker Lizzie Daly is a real-life female action hero, known for her resilient, adventurous spirit and storytelling mastery. Effervescing with knowledge and zeal, Lizzie's live talks cover themes such as pushing the boundaries, being a woman in STEM, adventuring in the wild and making an impact through science and storytelling.

With on-screen credits spanning BBC One, BBC Two, CBBC, Animal Planet, and Sky TV, to name a few, Lizzie Daly is well known as a TV presenter; 2024 saw the release of Deep Dive Australia (Sky TV), Jaguar Journals (Love Nature and Sky TV), and several episodes of The One Show (BBC One). However, as an experienced underwater and topside cinematographer, as well as drone operator, Lizzie shoots much of her own content, both for broadcast and for her impressive online community. Her work has taken her solo to some of the planet's most remote and treacherous terrains, including the Arctic, Antarctica and the Amazon.

A true polymath, Lizzie's off-screen accolades are equally notable. Driven by an enduring fascination with the natural world, Lizzie is a pioneer in her field. Alongside her PhD, within which she uses tag technology to study the fine-scale movements of wild animals in changing landscapes, Lizzie is committed to conservation. Having encountered many of the world's most endangered species, Lizzie Daly aspires for her work to demonstrate the alarming impact of our climate's rapid decline.

As part of her conservation efforts, she serves as an ambassador for organisations including the Jane Goodall Institute and the Marine Conservation Society, and is the first female patron of marine mammal conservation charity, ORCA. Also as an academic teaching fellow at Swansea University, Lizzie Daly was recently awarded an honorary doctorate in recognition of her contribution to conservation, science communication and exploration. Lizzie also recently published her first book. Full of wildlife stories and secrets of our natural world, Life in the Wild aims to inspire our next generation of nature lovers.

With considerable time spent on expeditions in extreme climates, keeping fit is vital for Lizzie, who recently completed a 140km solo ultramarathon in the Arctic Circle. Lizzie is also an avid rock climber, kayaker, HSE qualified scuba diver and freediver.

Engaging and personable, Lizzie Daly is a popular choice as a host and compere, and has hosted interviews at mega-corporations including Google, Adidas, Huawei. As part of ICUN's COP26, Lizzie interviewed CEOs of major companies and key policymakers, including ex-US Vice President Al Gore. Other influential past interviewees include Tom Daly, Steve Backshall, Jane Goodall and Bertie Gregory.

In 2020, Lizzie virtually live-hosted the full week of world-leading film festival, Wildscreen, presenting over 50 hours of content. Since, she has hosted Wildscreen's prestigious Panda Awards 4 times. Other live broadcasting credits include National Geographic LIVE Meet the Expert, BBC LIVE Lessons and Blue Planet LIVE Lessons.

Whether for a corporate event, conference, festival, trade show or bespoke masterclass, and with key themes of achieving success, preserving our planet, and bettering your mental and physical health, charged with wisdom and charisma, Lizzie leaves audiences with a renewed energy and sense of purpose. Book Lizzie Daly for your next event and inspire audiences with the raw spirit of exploration and adventure.

Lizzie was great; she was incredibly engaging and very personable. We had a fairly tight session duration allocated for her, which she navigated perfectly, pulling the audience in and creating a subtle yet natural connection with the overall event message and concept. 5 stars!

Cogs and Marvel - Google Earth Day 2022

Lizzie's talk was brilliant. Really engaging and inspiring, and she pitched it perfectly for the audience. They really enjoyed hearing her tips on how to get into wildlife filmmaking, and she peppered it with loads of exciting video clips - which was brilliant. Many of the participants said that it was the highlight of the 3-day event, and I really appreciated the fact that she stuck around for so long afterwards to take selfies and chat with the young people.
