Ethnic Minorities into Leadership – London 2025

Now in its thirteenth year, Ethnic Minorities into Leadership remains one of the UK’s most influential conferences dedicated to advancing ethnic minority representation in senior roles across the public, private, and voluntary sectors.

Hosted by Dods Diversity & Inclusion, the event brings together senior civil servants, corporate executives, inclusion strategists, and aspiring leaders for a day of inspiration, reflection, and practical learning. Attendees explore real-world challenges — from breaking through glass ceilings and navigating bias, to building inclusive leadership pipelines and allyship frameworks.

Keynotes from prominent leaders set the tone for candid discussions about race, equity, and accountability. Panel sessions dive into lived experiences, while breakout workshops help participants develop actionable skills such as authentic leadership, sponsorship, and mentoring.

For organisations, the conference offers tangible ways to recruit, promote, and retain diverse talent, while for individuals it serves as both a confidence-building space and a networking opportunity with peers driving change.

Inclusion is not a slogan here — it’s a strategy. Delegates leave with renewed purpose, practical frameworks, and connections that empower them to shape more representative workplaces and leadership cultures.
