2026 London Forum Day 1: UK & US Crosscurrents

Event Overview

The challenges facing LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion don’t stop at borders, and neither should the conversation. Spend the day with senior leaders, legal and policy experts, and inclusion strategists working through the same realities you are on both sides of the Atlantic. From how AI can be shaped to work for everyone, to communicating with clarity in uncertain times, to an honest look at shifting US and UK legal landscapes with voices from Stonewall and Not a Phase, Day 1 gives you space to step outside your organisation and problem-solve alongside people who understand your world. You’ll leave with sharper strategy, practical approaches to allyship you can put to work straight away, and a stronger network to carry into the year ahead.

You will walk away with:

A practical understanding of how AI can be shaped to support, rather than undermine, inclusive workplaces
Greater confidence navigating the shifting legal and policy landscape in both the US and the UK
Strategies for communicating clearly and with care when the path ahead is uncertain
Pragmatic approaches to allyship and wellbeing that you can build into everyday culture
Stronger connections with leaders on both sides of the Atlantic who are facing the same challenges you are
