Inclusion & Diversity Summit

The global pandemic and racial protests have thrown inclusion and equality into sharp focus. In September, Moving Ahead is bringing you a line-up of truly electrifying speakers who are right at the forefront of the most important issues within the diversity and inclusion space now. This year, the theme is #UnitedForInclusion and we’re delighted to have experts and storytellers from a range of topics including LGBTQ+ inclusion, race equality, mental health, diverse workplaces, disability inclusion, grief, and much more. This is our third annual Inclusion & Diversity Summit in celebration of National Inclusion Week, and there are just a couple of months to go! We’d love for your organisation to be part of this.

Join us on Tuesday 28th and Thursday 30th September. Both events will be held 10:00 – 12:00 (BST) and repeated at 18:00 – 20:00 to include all time-zones for international organisations.

And there is still time for your organisation to take part!

Summit Series access for your entire organisation includes:  

  • 4 hours' of content which can be accessed by all of your colleagues at the digital live event.

  • Participation in Q&A sessions.  

  • Access to the content all year round, to host on your intranet, at workshops or for training and continual professional development.
