Inclusion isn’t static – and neither are we. Over the coming months, we’ll curate a dynamic, evidence-led agenda designed to tackle the toughest, most urgent questions facing inclusion leaders today.

Together, we’ll move beyond the familiar ground covered many (many!) times before to ask:

Why has DEI struggled to embed into core business strategy – and what will it take to change that?

How do we balance free speech with belonging and psychological safety?

How do we focus our efforts when the movement is complex, the voices are many, and the stakes feel overwhelming?

What does authentic, data-driven impact look like in a rapidly changing social and political climate?

And how can we reach those who aren’t yet engaged – or who actively resist this work?

Here’s a glimpse of the themes we’ll explore to help leaders answer these questions and more: 

Inclusive leadership & culture

Embedding inclusion into leadership practice and organisational DNA – so it becomes everyone’s responsibility, not just the People team’s.

Intersectionality in practice

Move beyond siloed, one group at a time initiatives. Understand why an intersectional approach is essential to building genuinely inclusive workplaces – and how to design strategies that address overlapping, lived experiences rather than demographic checklists.

Psychological safety & wellbeing

Creating workplaces where people across generations, backgrounds and beliefs feel safe, valued and able to thrive – even in turbulent times.

Equity in talent & career progression

Tackling systemic barriers to opportunity and measuring what really drives diverse talent retention and advancement.

Making flexible working truly inclusive

Challenging presenteeism and designing flexibility that works for every role and every employee – not just the privileged few.

AI, technology & inclusion

Understanding how digital innovation can drive equity – or risk deepening divides – and what leaders must do to stay ahead.

Measuring & reporting DEI impact

Going beyond metrics that look good on paper to find the data that matters – and using it strategically to make better decisions.

Allyship & advocacy

Practical, evidence-based ways to build a culture of active inclusion that doesn’t rely on passion alone, but delivers lasting impact.

Neurodiversity & disability inclusion

Identifying and removing hidden barriers to accessibility, and designing systems that truly work for everyone.

Policy, compliance & legal frameworks

Staying ahead of evolving legislation and translating compliance into culture change.

Cutting through the noise

Communicating complex inclusion work in clear, compelling ways that resonate – even in a world of simplified messaging and reduced attention spans.
