The Driving Organisational Change Manchester Conference 2026 brings together senior people leaders, transformation specialists and cross-sector change professionals to exchange practical approaches, benchmark progress and strengthen organisational capability. The programme is built for those shaping new technology, cultural shifts and workforce behaviour — with focused sessions on AI adoption, digital transition, employee wellbeing, engagement, communication, measurement and leadership accountability.


Now in its first Manchester edition after more than a decade in London, the conference features 30+ speakers from organisations including Amazon, Channel 4, AstraZeneca, Holland & Barrett, River Island, Stagecoach and TransPennine Trains. With interactive panels, breakout discussions and two hours of structured networking, delegates take away clear, actionable strategies to embed resilient, people-centred change.
