Paxo to headline Advantage conference
Former Newsnight anchor Jeremy Paxman will speak at the 2015 Advantage Conference in Turkey.
One of the most respected and influential broadcasters in the UK, he is no less feared by contestants on University Challenge.
An award-winning journalist, Paxman began his career covering the Northern Ireland troubles in the 1970s, then joined Tonight and Panorama as an investigative reporter.
After a spell as a foreign correspondent filing reports from the Middle East, Africa and Latin America, he moved to the Six O’Clock News and Breakfast Time.
He became synonymous with Newsnight over his 25-year tenure on the show.
His confrontations with the great and good became broadcasting legend with his aggressive style often the target of criticism, parody and applause.
Away from hard news, Jeremy interviewed writers and thinkers on Radio 4’s Start The Week; hosted a sell-out Edinburgh Fringe show, PAXO and has written several books.
Advantage Travel Partnership business development director Colin O’Neill said: "I think Jeremy is one of those people delegates would love to hear. He will be joining us just a week or so after the general election so will have some particularly astute insights to share about the future political landscape."
The conference runs from May 14 to 18 2015 in Bodrum.
