Joint Pensions Diversity & Inclusion Event

Pensions Industry Joint Diversity & Inclusion Event

Join us on 7 May for a collaborative, cross‑industry event exploring practical, people‑centred approaches to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) across the pensions sector.

Hosted jointly by organisations across the industry, this half‑day event brings together expert speakers, interactive workshops, and a brand‑new “speed coaching” format designed to spark meaningful conversations and leave you with practical ideas you can take back to your workplace. This is a joint event with representatives from the cross industry diversity groups: Investors for Purpose, Pensions Equity Group, Diversity in Pensions, O:Pen, NextGen, APPT and the DEI Pensions Group

We have a brilliant line up of speakers and panellists for you, including:

• Bruna Bauer (Investors for Purpose)
• Sarah Brennan (Dalriada)
• Luke Hothersall (LCP)
• Lorna Tonner (Hymans Robertson)
• Jill Henderson (Scottish Widows)

Why attend?

DEI remains central to building healthy, effective and forward‑looking organisations — but progress often relies on everyday behaviours, realistic interventions, and shared learning. This event is designed to move beyond theory, focusing instead on:

• real‑life experiences from employers, advisers, providers and trustees
• inclusive behaviours that make a difference
• challenges that organisations and individuals face
• actionable steps you can implement straight away

Event Format

This is a hybrid event, with tailored options for both in‑person and virtual attendees:

Virtual (10:00–11:10)

Join us online for:

• Welcome and introduction
• Keynote speaker
• Panel discussion featuring voices from across the pensions industry

The virtual stream focuses on the plenary elements, offering a high‑impact session within a short time commitment.

In‑person (9:30–13:00)

Attend in London for the full experience, including:

• Networking over arrival refreshments
• Keynote & panel
• Interactive DEI workshop — group discussions exploring what DEI means in practice, challenges, benefits and inclusive behaviours
• Speed coaching session — short, energising conversations where participants exchange advice and perspectives in a supportive, peer‑to‑peer format

In‑person attendees will take part in café‑style group seating, designed to make discussions and connection‑building easy and comfortable.

Who is it for?

Anyone working in or alongside the pensions industry with an interest in building more inclusive workplaces — regardless of seniority or role. All perspectives and lived experiences are welcome.
