Register your interest: Boosting Inclusion in Business for Economic Growth
This half-day conference bringing together leading equity-focused business networks, making the case for inclusion as a driver of growth.
Bristol and the West of England are entering the biggest wave of economic transformation in a generation; Brabazon, Temple Quarter, and the WECA growth strategy represent billions in investment and tens of thousands of new jobs. This half-day conference brings together leading equity-focused business networks — Women in Business Charter, Bristol Property Inclusion Charter, Women in Property Southwest, Bristol Junior Chamber, and Ethnic Solicitors South West Network to make the business case for inclusion as a driver of that growth, not a constraint on it.
Why this matters: Bristol's growth has never been felt evenly; some of its constituencies rank among the lowest in England for social mobility and opportunity, even as the city drives regional productivity and innovation. Growth on this scale is a rare opportunity, but only if it reaches everyone. The evidence is clear: businesses with diverse, inclusive leadership consistently outperform on productivity, innovation and retention. As major investment decisions are still being shaped, this is the moment to ensure the region's growth is broad-based, not concentrated among those who already have access.
Expect keynote speakers, two expert panel discussions, facilitated roundtables, and networking with 150 delegates spanning established businesses and rising entrepreneurs from across the region.
Who should attend: Women in Business Charter is inviting their signatories to register, to join business leaders across the WECA region, alongside small business owners, founders, and entrepreneurs from the region's diverse communities.
Full programme including speakers and panellists coming soon!
