10 - 11 March 2026 |The NEC, Birmingham

Welcome to The Inclusive Workplace Conference 2026

A new kind of conversation about inclusion.


Inclusion work has never been more important – or more complex. Leaders today face a landscape shaped by social and political shifts, economic pressure, polarised debate, and an evolving language that can feel both urgent and overwhelming.


At The Inclusive Workplace Conference 2026, we’re creating something different. This isn’t just another event, or an echo chamber of like-minded voices. It’s a space for brave conversations with your peers, where challenge is welcome and nuance is embraced.



A Part of Thrive @ Work Week

This year The Inclusive Workplace Conference is joining forces with industry events, Health and Wellbeing at Work and HR Minds Summit to create Thrive at Work Week.

All three events will take place in Birmingham over 10-11 March 2026 to deliver the ultimate team experience for People Professionals.

As pressures and challenges continue to impact the workplace and our workforce, the need to ensure they both thrive is paramount.

Thrive at Work Week provides an unrivalled experience, supporting workplace professionals in building a healthy, productive, engaged and supportive culture – all essential pillars of a truly thriving workplace and workforce.

Why Sponsor?


The Inclusive Workplace Conference isn’t just another industry event.


It’s a unique opportunity to connect with the people who are actively shaping the future of work – senior HR, DEI, talent and wellbeing leaders from every sector, all gathered to explore bold ideas and practical solutions that move inclusion from aspiration to action.

Why join us?

Evidence-led insight, not rhetoric
We’ll go beyond slogans and hashtags to explore the real data and research that strengthen the business case for inclusion – and show what really works in practice.


Real-world stories and practical solutions
Hear how organisations like yours are turning intention into impact, overcoming barriers and creating change that lasts – especially in challenging times.

Brave conversations, not just safe ones
We’ll tackle the hardest questions: how to embed inclusion into business strategy, balance free speech with belonging, and stay true to this work when budgets tighten or voices grow louder in opposition.

A responsive, relevant agenda
As the world changes, so will we. Our content will evolve throughout the year to reflect new developments, fresh thinking and emerging challenges – ensuring what you hear is timely, relevant and actionable.

Together, we won’t just keep the conversation alive.
We’ll move it forward.

Come and be part of it.
The Inclusive Workplace Conference – coming March 2026.
