Our Commitment to Inclusive Representation

The Institute is deeply committed to fostering diversity of thought and experience across all our speaker panels. We actively strive to include voices from underrepresented and marginalised communities, ensuring that the perspectives shared at our conferences reflect the broad range of communities we engage with and support.

We also recognise that diversity is multifaceted and not always visible. Beyond demographic identifiers, it encompasses lived experiences, backgrounds, and viewpoints that contribute to a more nuanced and inclusive dialogue. While this diversity may not always be immediately apparent, please be assured that our speaker selection process places a strong emphasis on inclusivity, representation, and equity at every stage.
