Agenda
Check back for regular updates as we announce speakers for the Inclusion Summit
The theme of “Opportunities for All” underscores the vital importance of inclusivity, equity, and empowerment in today’s rapidly evolving world. Throughout the Summit, we will discuss, debate and reflect on how organisations across Hospitality, Travel, Leisure and Retail can break down barriers to ensure everyone has access to the resources, education, and support needed to thrive. These sectors, which serve as gateways to employment for diverse populations, have a unique role in promoting upward mobility and inclusive workplace cultures. From frontline staff to leadership roles, fostering equal opportunities in Hospitality, Travel, Leisure and Retail not only strengthens communities but also enhances customer experiences and business success.
At the Summit, the theme “Opportunities for All” will be explored through a series of panel discussions, workshops, and keynote presentations. Experts, practitioners, and stakeholders will examine how these sectors can drive social mobility, implement inclusive hiring practices, and support career development for underrepresented groups. Debates will center around practical challenges—such as wage equity, access to training, and inclusive leadership—and the policies and innovations needed to overcome them. Participants will also share case studies and success stories, sparking dialogue on what true equity and fairness look like in practice.
These sessions will investigate how these sectors can champion inclusive hiring, fair progression, and meaningful workplace representation.
A highlight of the event will be the Festival of Inclusion, a dedicated space for celebrating diverse voices, cultures, and stories from across the industry. Through interactive exhibits, cultural showcases, and real-life testimonials, the festival will provide a platform for all to be seen and heard. It will also serve as a space for debate and dialogue, where participants can engage in critical conversations about systemic barriers and co-create solutions for a more equitable future.
Together, these discussions aim to transform ideas into action, provide inspiration and insight making inclusion not just an ideal, but a lived experience.
