Speakers

It is reported that 70% of BAME employees have experienced racial harassment in the workplace, an unacceptable statistic that reflects the need for global change. Our inspiring speakers are committed to doing just that, through educating business leaders and empowering employees of all backgrounds to take a stand against discrimination.

Including keynote, after dinner and motivational speakers, our comprehensive selection features leading experts from countless industries. They are essential additions to such events as Anti-Racism Day, which takes place on the 20th of March, as our BAME speakers will send a firm message of support to attendees.
