“The greatest gift we can give ourselves is the gift of belonging.” — Gabor Maté
Human beings flourish when they feel a sense of belonging. But why is belonging so important? Join us in person this May as we explore the biological, physiological, and psychological impact of belonging.
We have invited a diverse array of voices from academia, industry, and personal experience to share their insights, knowledge and stories.
Our speakers will share how belonging can enrich individual lives, foster healthier communities, and increase societal connectedness.
Throughout your two-day experience there will be the opportunity to hear from our inspirational speakers and participate in immersive workshops hosted by our values-aligned partners.
These workshops will help you reflect on the day, supporting you to embed theoretical knowledge into daily practice.
These will be on a first come, first serve basis with ticketholders being contacted soon.
Outside of our main speakers, we will be hosting a number of morning and evening events with our speakers, including an evening reception on Wednesday evening, and a business breakfast with Darren Burns on Thursday morning.
Please note the evening reception and business breakfast are sold separately and not included in the One Day and Two Day ticket prices.
Meet the speakers from both days on Wednesday evening in the Castle Suite at the Crowne Plaza.
Join them for an evening reception with canapes, Q&A and a fireside chat with our guest host.
Darren Burns, Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Timpson Group will be at a business breakfast.
It promises to be an immersive experience and insight into the Timpson Group’s innovative recruitment and business model
On both Wednesday and Thursday, our speakers will be on hand to sign their books.
In partnership with Waterstones, you will be able to buy books by the speakers on both days at the event.
Throughout both days, we will be bringing you lightning acts in between the speakers.
These short, sharp acts will be performing songs, poems and artistic performances that communicate the meaning of belonging.
Across two days, we will welcome a broad range of voices from academia, industry and lived experience to share their insights and stories.
We will be updating this running order over the coming weeks with talk titles, and more exciting things to announce.
