Human beings cannot thrive without a sense of belonging. Why? That is the question this ground-breaking conference will explore.

In May, tigers will welcome a broad range of voices from academia, industry and lived experience to speak live, and in person, on why belonging matters, and how to foster a sense of belonging in our communities.

This event is being run as not for profit, meaning any money made from this event will be invested back into our communities, and the changemakers putting the theory into practice every day.

More and more, conversations are being had on the impact of adverse childhood experiences, trauma, and stress on the biology and brains of human beings. This conference will help bring the science and knowledge to you, as well as practical steps you can take to help foster that sense of belonging.

Across both days, on top of hearing from our amazing speakers, we will be welcoming partners to deliver workshops during the lunch breaks, tailored to the content of the day’s speakers.

On Wednesday evening, you will have the chance to connect with not just your fellow delegate, but all six speakers as we host a casual event with a Q&A session.

We are delighted to welcome Mr Darren Burns back to Glasgow, as he hosts a business breakfast on Thursday morning, delivering insights into how the Timpson Group apply the theory and science in practice.

On both days, our speakers will be signing copies of their books, with books available to buy at the conference as we partner with Waterstones.

We are delighted to welcome you to the Crowne Plaza in May, for what will be an immersive and inspiring experience.
