We are delighted to announce the launch of the Inclusion Forum North East, a free event for professionals from all sectors who share a passion for equality, diversity and inclusion (ED&I) to come together to learn, network and collaborate.

The inaugural IF North East event will take place on Wednesday 12th July at 10.30am and will be held at the inspiring charity Ouseburn Farm. Refreshments will be available on arrival and guests are invited to join us for a networking lunch from 12.30pm.

The event will provide a valuable opportunity to hear about the key ED&I regional challenges, to network with like-minded professionals and to collaborate to shape future events.

Our motivation to create and facilitate this event comes from a number of our clients suggesting that this is something that would add real worth to the work they are doing internally and, having worked with clients from different sectors in the region we totally agree! Whilst the organisations with whom we have worked are varied, there are a lot of similar challenges and we believe there will be huge value in bringing professionals from these different sectors together – a problem shared is a problem halved!

The plan is to launch the concept with this inaugural Inclusion Forum North East event in July and we anticipate that this will be a quarterly date for diaries. We look forward to welcoming you to the event, please use the link below to receive your tickets which are limited due to the venue capacity.
