As companies compete to attract and retain the best and the brightest, how can event agencies make sure they have a competitive edge while being mindful of DEI? This session, led by the Head of Creative Diversity for Channel 4, will answer the big questions around authentic DEI policies, how talent is demanding this from brands, and how we can all take personal accountability to inspire change across the sector.

With many reluctant to change suppliers or using it as an exercise to manage the present agency, this debate will argue for and against spending your precious time and money on winning new business. The audience will get a chance to have their say too!

To get the most out of this session we ask for you to vote on your organisation's biggest challenge when it comes to meaningfully implementing EDI into your workplace and in your events.
