About this Event
At our annual modern slavery conference this November, we will gather a select group of thought leaders, industry experts, and change-makers to collectively address the pressing issue of modern slavery and forced labor risk. Our conference is now in its third year of running; find our takeaways from last year here.
The conference theme for 2025 will be “Understanding Modern Slavery as part of Human Rights Due Diligence”. This resonates with our shared commitment to lead beyond compliance, seeking practical solutions that can make a tangible difference.
We’re delighted to say that our keynote speaker this year will be Dr. Carole Murphy, Professor of Sociology and Applied Research at St Mary’s and Director of the Bakhita Centre for Research on Slavery Exploitation and Abuse.
