Dan Snow

Dan Snow is a leading British-Canadian historian and broadcaster celebrated for making complex narratives accessible to modern audiences. Known as the BBC's 'history man', he first rose to prominence co-presenting the BAFTA award-winning series Battlefield Britain alongside his father. Since then, he has anchored major documentaries on the World Wars and the Battle of Trafalgar, as well as live national events such as Trooping the Colour and various military commemorations. Beyond his television work, he is the founder of History Hit, a global digital media network and streaming service dedicated to historical content. His expertise spans across leadership, global politics and the evolution of innovation. By examining figures like Alexander the Great and Margaret Thatcher, Snow identifies the specific qualities required for strategic command and inspiration. He frequently draws parallels between historical movements and contemporary issues, comparing figures like Joan of Arc to today’s activists and analysing the cyclical nature of Britain’s relationship with Europe. His literary contributions include the acclaimed On This Day in History, which explores significant but frequently overlooked dates that shaped the world. Today, Snow is a prominent ambassador for the Electoral Reform Society and continues to expand his digital history platform. He is frequently booked for his ability to provide historical clarity on modern disruptions, including artificial intelligence and the future of global trade. Audiences value his charismatic delivery and his unique talent for using the past to explain the political and technological landscape of the present day. On stage, Dan Snow is best known for talks on History, Leadership, Innovation, Global Politics and Brexit. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Their work resonates with leaders across Education and Media & Broadcasting, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy. Dan Snow is regularly booked for Business Speaker, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A.
