Join us on 1 October 2025!

The ‘Balance The Board: Accelerating Change Conference’ is back on 1 October for it's fourth year. 

Designed for Board and C-level professionals, founders and advocates, the conference brings together subject matter experts and industry leaders seeking to learn how to drive positive change in their organisations.

This informative and interactive event covers key themes such as the importance of a balanced board, how inclusion drives high performing teams, the power of mentoring, investment and entrepreneurship, building psychological safety, behavioural and structural inclusion, active allyship and the power of a growth mindset. With a focus on advancing gender equity, we also explore the intersectionality with all dimensions of diversity including social mobility, age, veterans, LGBTQIA+, ethnicity, disability and neurodiversity.  

We are currently curating an exciting agenda with an incredible line-up of speakers, soon to be announced.

If you are interesting in supporting the conference this year, please get in touch.
