The one-day conference is structured to generate practical responses to changing employee expectations and to align individual purpose with business objectives. Sessions will target workforce resilience, performance mindsets and future readiness, with a programme designed for immediate application in organisational settings. The day runs from 09:30 to 16:15 and is followed in the evening by the separately ticketed miaList awards. The event takes place on 6 November at The Belfry Hotel & Resort, with early-bird tickets available until 12 September.
