Breakfast Briefing:
Building Tomorrow's Market
12 November 2026 | 10:00 AM | EY, 1 More London Place, London
Is your organisation ready for the roles of tomorrow, and the people who will fill them?
AI and technology are reshaping traditional roles, while progress on LGBTQ+ inclusion remains tangible but uneven across the market.
Why Attend
How your organisation prepares for changing roles, and how it treats inclusion, directly affects the trust, talent and culture you build for the future.
At Insider Progress, you'll step back from day-to-day pressures to examine what's really working, and what isn't, in today's London Market.
What to Expect
You'll gain clarity on how AI and technology are reshaping traditional roles, and how the market can turn LGBTQ+ inclusion from passive support into active progress.
Across two focused, editor-led panel discussions, you will:
- Understand how advancing technology is redefining roles, and what that means for hiring and career pathways
- Explore how to differentiate between roles that will disappear, evolve, or emerge, and how this benefits both talent and firms
- Identify the barriers holding back LGBTQ+ inclusion in the market, and how senior leaders can help remove them
- Learn how to distinguish genuine progress on inclusion from communications that only look like progress
Who Should Attend?
This event is designed for senior leaders shaping people, culture and strategy in the London Market, including:
- CEOs and executive leadership
- HR, talent and people leaders
- COOs and operational leaders
- Heads of strategy, culture and transformation
If you are responsible for balancing performance, progression and flexibility across a multi-generational workforce, this discussion is for you.
