LEAD Network’s Annual Conference 2024 Approaches
At LEAD Network, we’ve been busy preparing for our Annual Conference, which is taking place in Budapest this year, with the theme of Leading Sustainable Change. We’re looking forward to welcoming our participants for getting inspired by authentic stories, learning how to drive change in DEI, and celebrating achievements toward creating diverse and equitable workforces at the exclusive event in the European FMCG & Retail Sector.
What’s happening at the Annual Conference?
The LEAD Network Annual Conference gathers 800+ individuals from across Europe who are dedicated to our mission. Participants will join plenary sessions with industry leaders, and have extensive opportunities to network with peers. They will also be able to choose from over 20 breakout room discussions, on topics ranging from organisational culture and allyship to wellbeing at work.
Networking in a unique venue
We are particularly looking forward to our Networking Celebration Dinner, which is taking place at Budapest’s stunning Museum of Fine Arts. The museum opened in 1906, and “displays the treasures of international and Hungarian art spanning from ancient times to the end of the eighteenth century, while its large-scale temporary exhibitions attract hundreds of thousands of visitors.” During the evening event, participants will have the chance to connect with like-minded professionals, expand their network, and forge impactful partnerships.
Our conference welcomes people of all levels within the industry, and we’re particularly focused on helping attendees:
- Become more inclusive leaders and team members who can navigate uncertainty with confidence.
- Learn to balance work & life, sustain personal performance, and foster a growth mindset.
- Engage middle management, build resilience, foster psychological safety, and leverage AI.
- Explore DEI trends, innovations, and gender equity through intersectionality.
