Targets on gender and ethnicity, aimed at increasing the diversity of our event speakers, include:

• 50% of our event speakers will be female.
• We will have no all-male panels at our conferences and events.
• 20% of our speakers will be from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups.

We conduct an EDI survey to ensure venue spaces are suitable to welcome an audience with mobility, visual or hearing requirements, and from any religious affiliation. We are committed to using venues that provide:

• Wheelchair access to the building and accessible toilet.
• Hearing loop.
• Quiet space.
• Prayer room.
• Catering inclusive of all dietary requirements.
