This year’s Global Equality & Diversity (GED) Conference aims to tackle the issue of ‘fairness in the face of a crisis’. Its seventh annual event will be virtual and is scheduled to take place on the 22nd October, 2020.
However, as in previous years, the organiser promises to “continue to provide a milestone event” to review the impacts and best practice across industry and society. According to the organiser, GED 2020 is not only “the place to showcase best practice, but also explore and challenge the conventional wisdom and emerging strategies”.
HOT TOPICS
The conference will provide discussion and debate on workplace fairness issues, such as:
- How can diversity and inclusion leaders ensure fairness and inclusion through the most difficult economic and social crisis since the 1940s?
- Which organisations will be able to look themselves in the mirror at the end of 2020 and say they behaved inclusively and fairly in the face of a crisis?
- What is the next challenge for business?
- Who is spearheading much-needed change in the equality arena?
- Who is protecting equality?
