We welcome all to our events because we recognise the importance of allyship in the pursuit of breaking down racial barriers. Please bare in mind that our events have been developed with the experience of Black and Mixed heritage people in mind and our work heavily centres on the unique experiences this can bring.

This year we will be championing for the development of soft skills as a key part of continued professional development regardless of industry. You’ll also find that we are hosting virtual and in person networking opportunities!
