Session Name 4

14 Oct 2026
Theater 2
When budgets are tighter and teams are stretched, every initiative has to prove its impact quickly to survive the next review. For anyone running these programmes, that means less room to wait and see, and more pressure to build a case that gets the right people behind it early on. This session looks at what's working right now for DEI leaders, and how to move fast without cutting corners. Speakers will share initiatives to support Black colleagues that can realistically launch within 90 days, what makes them work on a limited budget, and who needs to be on side to keep them moving.
