Former GB athlete Steve Backley will provide a keynote address at Financial Services Expo Manchester on 18 May.
In the javelin event Backley won seven gold medals, three world records, two Olympic silver medals and one bronze before retiring in 2004.
He will be joined by over 60 exhibitors including lenders, distributors, networks, insurance providers and technology companies at The Emirates Old Trafford, which overlooks the pitch at Lancashire County Cricket Club.
Backley said: “Fundamentals like taking action, being creative, understanding core values (and aligning them) along with creative, unequivocal self-belief are key to ensuring you bring your best self to your chosen role as an adviser.
“Sustaining high performance is what I have admired most in sport - and those in business who succeed possess similar characteristics too; they retain a passion and a clarity as to what they are striving for and are relentless in pursuit of what they truly want.
“In my presentation I will cover the non-negotiable aspects of high achievement ensuring that you too can enjoy a high and renewable level of success.”
FSE Manchester will feature seminar presentations put together by the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI) and Financial Reporter, while there will be a separate theatre run by Shawbrook.

“Since then we have grown considerably and not only do we now have over 60 exhibitors but our seminar theatre as well as the Shawbrook Academy.
“We have a particularly strong programme of seminars this year and are delighted to be welcoming former Olympic athlete, Steve Backley OBE, to FSE Manchester where he will be holding a session designed to both inform and inspire.”
