Join us with over 400 delegates for this year’s Voices of Leadership Conference, where we will explore the theme of Courageous Leadership.
Whether you are leading an organisation, guiding a team, influencing in your community, or simply beginning your own leadership journey, this conference is for you. Leadership takes many forms - professional, personal and aspirational - and every voice has a role to play.
Hosted by Donna Traynor in Mandela Hall, the conference will highlight the importance of leading with conviction, resilience and vision, while keeping gender firmly on the agenda.
Together, we will delve into the principles of courageous leadership and discover how it can inspire action and create lasting impact. You will hear powerful, first-hand stories from leaders across a range of industries who have faced challenges with conviction, alongside practical insights and tools you can take away and apply in your own life.
With distinguished local and international leadership figures joining us on stage, this will be a unique opportunity to explore what it truly means to lead with courage.
Our leading voices:
- Ellie Simmonds OBE | Paralympic Champion & BAFTA-winning documentary maker
- Marie Doyle | Partner at Deloitte
- Jessica N. Grounds | CEO at Corporate Directors Forum
- Carol Ann Whitehead | Managing Director at The Zebra Tribe
- Camilla Long, | Co-Founder at Bespoke Communications
- Cushlá Rice | Presenter at Q Radio Ltd.
- Tina McKenzie MBE | CEO at Staffline Recruitment Ireland
Made possible through the support of our title sponsor, NIE Networks, with the valued partnership of Queen’s University Belfast and Belfast City Council.
