Real stories: How an inclusive and flexible culture transforms the lives and experiences of diverse employee groups
Speakers TBC
15:40-16:25
One of the most important things about Flexpo is that it's an inclusive event experience. We know that for some of our introverted, neurodivergent and reflective visitors, Q&A sessions or discussions with large audiences just aren’t the right opportunity to engage with our experts. We also know that one of the main reasons people leaders come to Flexpo is to make meaningful connections and learn from your peers.
This is why we’ve created our human library, where you can ‘check out’ our human ‘books’ for a 15-minute 1-2-1 conversation to get to know and learn from one or more of our expert speakers and thought leaders. It's like speed networking - but in typical Flexpo style - way more human!
Maybe you've got a pressing issue or challenge within your organisation that you'd like to share with a subject matter expert and invite them to share their views and experiences. Maybe you're passionate about a particular topic and you'd like to connect over a shared interest. Perhaps you'd like to deepen a connection to one of our speakers and have the opportunity to engage with them in a more intimate conversation than is possible in our other theatres......
Keep on top of your goals for 2023 by committing to them on our Flexpo wall of accountability!
We will keep in contact to see how you are getting on throughout the year.
There's still time to register for Flexpo Live 2023!
Registration is free and saves you time on the day. Head over to www.flexpo.co.uk and click on the 'GET FREE TICKETS' button. Don't forget to send it to your colleagues if you think they would benefit from joining you at Flexpo Live
Flexpo Live 2023 is the perfect place to network with your peers and make new connections.
Make sure you share with your network that you'll be the the Business Design Centre, London on 21-22 February so they can join you!
When you attend the show, make sure you tag us in any posts, videos and pictures so that we can share on our social media channels! and use #Flexpo23
