Bartlett is youngest-ever Dragon to appear on the BBC business show and the 30-year-old is an investor, author and podcaster.

In August, his podcast, The Diary Of A CEO, exceeded 10 million downloads in a single month, and Bartlett has welcomed guests from across the worlds of business, politics, sport and entertainment such as Lewis Capaldi, Gary Neville, Karren Brady, Bear Grylls and Matt Hancock.

During his WTM session, Bartlett will share extracts from his rapid rise to fame through the creation of social marketing agency, Social Chain, which was valued in a 2019 public listing at £160m, which made him a multimillionaire aged 27.

Social Chain is now valued at more than £550m and has clients such as Apple, McDonalds and Coca-Cola.

Bartlett will also share his interests in investing in e-commerce and biotech firms and his desire to inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs from underrepresented communities.

An Audience With...Steven Bartlett will take place on Tuesday 8 November at 2pm.

World Travel Market London exhibition director, Juliette Losardo, said: “We’re very excited to announce Steven as headline speaker. I’m confident the audience at World Travel Market will be inspired by his remarkable story, as well as take away actionable insights on how to evolve and promote brands for future generations.

“Many well-known faces have taken the stage at World Travel Market London through its 40-year history, and Steven’s session will continue the legacy of showcasing world class thought leaders to galvanize travel professionals and guide them in pushing boundaries to support the progression of the travel sector.”
