Areas of Discussion:

• Can AI and its potential do more good than harm? 
• What opportunities does AI present for DE&I practitioners and their practice?
• How do we ensure AI positively contributes to our DE&I purpose/mission while safeguarding people’s safety? 

Fostering inter-ERG collaboration is a necessity if we are to adopt an intersectional approach, making resource-sharing and joint organising the norm, not the exception. Seeing each other as complementary and interdependent, rather than competing and separate is a must. 

Areas of Discussion:

• What gets in the way of cultivating collaboration between ERGs?
• What needs to happen to begin coalescing around the experiences of multiply-marginalised folk?
• What does effective collaboration look like in practice?

In the last quarter of 2023 in the UK alone, the disability employment gap was 27.9%. This is even higher when it comes to the marked lack of disability visibility in leadership roles. Redressing this absence is vital if we are to embrace true inclusivity.

Areas of Discussion:

• What are the barriers and opportunities for improved disability visibility in our leadership pipelines?
• How do ableist standards hinder career growth for Disabled employees?
• How can we best support managers and leaders to give them the confidence and competence needed to design disability-inclusive workplaces?

This session aims to synthesise key takeaways from the day, and is an opportunity for delegates to reflect on immediate steps they can action, but also better understand those they need further support with. This is about building a ‘community of practice’.
