“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.

This conference is organised as a non-profit event, ensuring that all proceeds will be reinvested back into our communities and the changemakers who are implementing these vital ideas every day.

Join us at the Crowne Plaza this May for an immersive and inspiring experience that promises to deepen our understanding of belonging.

The Experience

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.

Chair

Kate Silverton will chair this two day event. 

Kate is a mum to two young children, a Sunday Times best-selling author, qualified child therapist, motivational speaker and one of the UK’s best-known broadcasters. Her passion is to support families and carers and to ensure all children feel safe, seen, heard and understood.

Kate will interweave her experiences as a child therapist & former broadcaster, to ask the important questions to our speakers, and frame the content of the day for our wonderful delegates.

As a previous speaker at our 2023 event, The Close Community, we can’t wait to welcome Kate back to Glasgow.

Workshops

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.

Book Signing Opportunities

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.

Lightning Acts

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.
