THE DIVERSITY FORUM

Sport has the power to connect people and create change

Location icon Google Offices, 6 Pancras Sq, London  N1C 4AG Date icon Monday 16 October 2023

Here at Leaders, we utilise our position at the heart of the sports industry to help drive change. Marking our 10 year anniversary, with this year’s overarching theme ‘Turning Point’

THE DIVERSITY FORUM

As we now move into a new chapter for the Leaders: Diversity Series, at a time where the sports industry is now being held to increased accountability and action, to leverage its reach to move the industry forward, in equitable policies, inclusive practices and diverse outcomes.

This year’s Diversity Forum, part of Leaders Week London will look to showcase and bring to light a passing of the torch as we reflect upon how far the industry has come, existing frameworks, progress being felt and a showcasing to what the future should hold and the necessary actionable steps to get there.

Therefore we would like to introduce the forum as the ‘Turning Point’, consisting of three themes:

The Past – Speaking the legacy pieces which currently stand, and how these have paved the way to bring about change, and shape a new narrative.

The Present – Demonstrating the turning point that we’re now at, and how this has moved the sports industry to now move with intention in building a more diverse & equitable industry for all. How have alliances, and partnerships enabled progress, and what is still to be achieved with the support of neighboring industries and integrated business allyship.

The Future – How to now move forward and set about the new building blocks for a legacy that builds new stories, identifies tomorrow’s hero’s and demonstrates a roadmap for maintained momentum and renewed hope.

Leaders Meet: Diversity Forum Experiential Networking Zone 

Looking to bring to life a networking zone to display a gallery/exhibition format, highlighting trailblazing black (and ethnically diverse) icons/moments in the world of sport, fashion, film, entertainment, and music, shining a light on individuals and movements that did more than just excel at their crafts and capture the attention of the masses, but also pioneer change in society in marking Black History Month and Black culture.

 

Date: Monday 16 October 2023

Location: 6 Pancras Sq, London N1C 4AG, United Kingdom

Timings: 13:00 – 17:00 (BST)
