Public Speaking and Debating Society Kickoff

🎙️ Join us for the Public Speaking & Debating Society Kickoff!

Whether you want to run a boardroom, hold your own in an argument, or just
stop dreading the words "any questions?", this is your club.

We started in October 2025 with a handful of people in a small room. One year
on we are an official LBS Society with 120+ members, a weekly Toastmasters
chapter, a debate series, and a partnership with the English-Speaking Union
that will bring three national competitions to LBS campus in 2027.

Come see what we have planned and how to get involved.

📋 What to expect

- 🔁 Year one in review
- 🗓️ Plans for 2026/27
- ⭐ Leadership roles
- 🎤 Table topics: you get a question you have not seen and one minute to
answer it. Harder than it sounds, and the fastest way to get comfortable
thinking on your feet

⭐ Leadership roles

We are opening ExCo positions for 2026/27. If you already know you want to be
involved, you do not need to wait until the event. Message me directly on
+44 7570 772745 and we can talk it through before applications open.


💡 No experience needed. Most of our members had never given a prepared speech
or argued a motion before joining. That is exactly the point.
