The leading annual global event for organisations looking to accelerate their workplace diversity and inclusion strategy.

Each year 600+ senior diversity, inclusion and HR professionals attend our sell-out forum, to hear from 40+ expert speakers, network and exchange ideas.

Our unique CPD accredited two-day programme features on-stage interviews; panel discussions; interactive polling and a choice of deep-dive stream sessions. View photos from 2020.

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, we have moved our 2021 forum to 8 & 9 June, again in London, UK. If it is still not safe to hold in-person, the forum will take place online.
