Take action. Say no to homogenous panels

All too often we’re seeing the same line up of speakers and panelists at conferences and events. Whether you’re an event organiser, speaker, individual, organisation, sponsor, event-goer or part of the supply chain – by signing this pledge, you are saying enough is enough.

This diversity pledge shows you are committed to making sure every event has balanced representation – not only because it leads to better conversations and thinking but also because it’s the right thing to do.

Equality is important to me personally and as a business person. Everyone deserves equity of rights, access & treatment.

Because for too long it’s been acceptable for organisations to not include diverse speakers. It’s also been okay for speakers to be complicit in this. It’s time that a true representation of the diverse voices and stories of our country are heard.

We’re all in this together, so we should represent all of us as best as possible.
