JOSEPH OUBELKAS

Bestselling Author and Speaker

keynote speaker Convening EMEA 2025 Joseph Oubelk

At just 24, Joseph Oubelkas was unjustly sentenced to ten years in a Moroccan prison—an unimaginable experience that tested every human fibre of his being. What followed was not only a story of survival but of transformation, resilience, and connection. 

Today Joseph shares his journey with energy, empathy, and even humour across the globe. He invites you to explore what it truly means to stay human-centred and hopeful when the world around you is anything but that. 

At Convening EMEA Joseph will share his perspective on challenges we all face: 

  • How do we stay agile and resilient in the face of extreme uncertainty? 

  • How can we remain true to our values and purpose when both are questioned on a daily base 

  • What does it take to unite, inspire, and elevate those around us? 

Joseph’s message is one of deep human connection, authentic leadership, and inner strength—qualities that are essential as we navigate the future of our industry and reimagine how we connect, build and lead. 

Let’s unlock tomorrow’s potential, today.
