EqualEngineers runs the annual Equality in Engineering conference to bring together thought-leaders in engineering and technology who are leading the way building inclusive cultures.
The event comprises a series of keynote and panel discussions with parliamentarians, executives and key influencers in the engineering sector. The event serves as a nexus between Government, Industry and Academia to ensure connections are mode, themes are explored to help inform policy making decisions which underpin attracting the talent of tomorrow and retaining the talent of today.
Confirmed speakers include Sir Vince Cable, former leader of the Liberal Democrats and Wes Streeting MP, Shadow Minister for Schools.
Workshops will cover themes across STEM engagement, women in engineering, naking the curriculum more inclusive, commercial conflict resolution, ethnicity in engineering and mental health and wellbeing.
Speakers from Heathrow, Smallpiece Trust, Women's Engineering Society, RS Components and many more.
The event is an opportunity to connect with others, network, and explore themes which you may be unfamiliar with so as to enhance your learning.
We are looking for sponsors who are committed to creating an inclusive culture across the engineering and technology profession, and who recognise the challenges we face in attracting and retaining diverse talent.
As a sponsor, you will benefit from the exposure the event will garner and with the speakers we have in the pipeline, this event will offer an opportunity to network with key decision makers. The event will take place on the same day as the Engineering Talent Awards dinner, and so combined coverage both of these events will attract will mean signicant social media coverage beyond those in the room on the day.
This event offers a chance to position your organisation as a progressive place to work and invested in creating inclusive cultures.
