Creating a FAIRER world of work - Today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities

Date: 2nd October 2025
Time: 9:00 AM – 4:30 PM
Location: St Paul's, London
Cost: FREE (*Conditions Apply)

The diversity, equity and inclusion landscape, the world of business and society as a whole, are changing at unprecedented speed, posing a number of critical questions for HR and DE&I professionals: 

  • How can organisations embed fairness into the very fabric of their work cultures?
  • How can DE&I be the driver for real, systemic change?
  • Why are we doing the same things and expecting different results? What can we do differently in 2025?
  • Where do we go from here? What does the future of DE&I look like?

Over the course of a day, FAIRER Consulting is bringing together key thought leaders from the fields of HR, DE&I and culture change, to explore some of these pressing questions. The conference is a space for honest and open reflection and practical insights and advice, using case studies and the latest research. 

This event is designed for Senior HR & DEI professionals at mid to large enterprises. All sectors are welcome.
