About
The Summit
The event brings together – as speakers and panelists – a spectrum of the leading personalities in the ED&I agenda. Throughout, it takes a strongly case study-led approach, with the objective that attendees will derive factual ‘takeaways’ which they can readily apply in their own organisations. In a day of premium networking, attendees can further their knowledge and discover the latest breakthroughs and innovations.
About
The Awards
The ED&I Awards have been created to honour the innovators and change-makers who are defining Equality, Diversity & Inclusion in the workplace – and are transforming for the better the raft of gender, disability and ethnicity issues that they involve. The Awards recognise achievement at a corporate and individual level, and also honour programmes that have proven to be most popular and highly effective.

Agenda
The agenda is designed to help businesses to succeed in a challenging and complex environment with unique blend of insight from the regional built environment. Thought leaders from the related sectors, insightful panel discussions, one on one on-stage conversation with field experts and a raft of technical knowledge and solutions shared by a stellar line up of speakers.
The Role of Mentoring
Learning from the best
Companies are increasingly introducing mentoring programmes in order to provide younger staff members with strong career and vocational guidance from the get-go. We discuss how mentoring works in practice and how to select a pool of potential mentors from within your business.
Getting the right yardstick from Day One
Following the Metrics
Even if a company is ready and willing to kick-start an ED&I programme, where does it get its content, evaluation models and overall metrics from? Here, we show companies how to benchmark their protocols against proven working models and the most relevant Best Practice philosophies.
Is ED&I now beyond the remit of HR?
The role of HR
One of the most passionate debates in current ED&I agendas is whether or not ED&I programmes should be monitored and issued by the Human Resources team. Should they instead come directly from the C-Suite? Does HR send the wrong signals about evaluation and career progress?
The C-Suite as ED&I advocate
ED&I at Board level
While it is generally acknowledged that a company’s ‘push’ for ED&I should come from the C-Suite, it may not be enough to do this by having a single ED&I advocate on the Board. Surely, the whole Board should be knowledgeable, supportive and compliant? If not, shouldn’t the Board be changed?
