“Working with Dani Rayner at the International Running Expo was an absolute pleasure. Dani was one of the standout moderators across the two days.
Her expertise in creator marketing, combined with her genuine passion for running and the wider outdoor industry, brought valuable insight and authenticity to the discussion.
Dani prepared and managed the panelists brilliantly and led a thoughtful, engaging conversation that really resonated with the audience. The session drew a packed room and fantastic engagement throughout.
Beyond the session itself, Dani went above and beyond, creating a brilliant social media reel afterwards to help amplify the conversation and the event.
Dani was a dream to work with from start to finish. She’s professional, personable and really understood the industry and its audience. We couldn’t recommend her highly enough as a host or moderator and would love to work with her again.”

05 / Speaking
From streaming wars to shifting audience habits, Dani takes audiences behind the scenes of the entertainment industry. Drawing on 12 years across Netflix, the BBC and BAFTA, she unpacks how content gets made, marketed and monetised - and what the next era of entertainment might look like.
What makes people care deeply about a story, brand or community? Dani explores the psychology and strategy behind fandom - and what entertainment brands can teach us about turning passive audiences into passionate advocates.
AI is transforming how we work, create and communicate - but technology is only half the story. Dani explores how organisations can navigate rapid change while keeping creativity, human connection and storytelling at the heart of what they do.
The line between advertising and entertainment is disappearing. Dani explores how brands can earn attention by creating things people actually want to watch, share and talk about - and what it takes to build partnerships that feel culturally relevant rather than interruptive.
Climate action is often seen as the responsibility of scientists, policymakers and sustainability professionals. Dani challenges that idea, exploring how we can use the skills, platforms and influence we already have to make climate action more relatable, relevant and actionable.

“Dani Rayner delivered a powerful and engaging keynote at Convene 4 Climate, bringing a fresh perspective to the way we communicate about climate. She demonstrated why climate communication matters - and how weaving climate into the stories we tell can make complex issues more relatable, relevant and compelling.
Dani connected brilliantly with our audience, creating an engaging and thought-provoking session that really resonated. She was incredibly well received, with delegates particularly valuing her ability to make an important and complex topic feel accessible, human and actionable.
We were delighted to have Dani as part of C4C and would highly recommend her as a speaker.”
