“The path to diversity begins with supporting, mentoring, and sponsoring diverse women and men to become leaders and entrepreneurs.”

Denise Morrison (Retired CEO and President of Campbell Soup Company)

A forum for passionate retail leaders from diverse backgrounds

As the third largest exhibition organiser in the world, Clarion Events has a role to play in building an industry where everyone feels like they belong and are valued.

The launch of a new conference track at IRX & eDX 2023 - on Thursday 25 May - dedicated to inclusion and diversity will provide a fantastic opportunity to bring together passionate retail leaders from under-represented backgrounds in one place on one day, to network, learn and form lasting relationships.

Diversity in RetailIt will provide a safe place to enable you – whatever your race, gender, religion, disability and background – to build a support network of like-minded professionals, hear from others fighting similar battles, join discussion groups, gain skills and most importantly, to come away feel valued and inspired.

Listen to inspiring keynotes, take part in networking sessions and join discussions on a range of topics in the roundtable sessions.
