The main event of the evening will see Oprah take to the stage for a live, in-depth conversation with David Meade, reflecting on her life, journey and the experiences that have shaped her path. The discussion will be thoughtful, engaging and grounded, offering the audience a rare opportunity to experience Oprah in a more personal and immersive setting.
Oprah Winfrey is a global media leader, producer, philanthropist, actress and author. Over the course of her esteemed career, she has created an unparalleled connection with people around the world, making her one of the most respected and admired figures today.
For 25 years, Winfrey was host and producer of the award-winning talk show “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” engaging in a range of multifaceted cultural conversations. Currently, Oprah oversees Harpo Productions, serves as chairman and CEO of OWN, is the founder of O, The Oprah Magazine and digital companion site OprahDaily.com, and hosts the award-winning weekly series “The Oprah Podcast.”


David Meade is a highly regarded interviewer and host, known for his ability to create space for open, honest and deeply engaging conversations. A renowned mentalist, behavioural expert and international speaker, he brings a unique understanding of human behaviour and communication to every discussion, allowing him to draw out meaningful insights from global thought leaders and guide conversations that feel both intimate and impactful for a live audience.
His widely acclaimed interview with Brené Brown is a standout example of this approach, demonstrating his ability to create space for honest, thoughtful and deeply human conversation — allowing insights to emerge naturally rather than being forced.
Niall Breslin, widely known as Bressie, is one of Ireland’s most respected voices on mental health, resilience and human connection. A former professional rugby player turned musician, bestselling author and podcast host, he has built a career centred on helping people better understand themselves and navigate the pressures of modern life.
He joins forces with the Polaris Quartet to deliver a powerful live musical experience that blends cinematic compositions, spoken word and visual storytelling. Together, they create a deeply reflective performance designed to help audiences pause, reset and reconnect.
