IA Culture & Inclusion Conference 2026

Description

Join us at this year’s IA Culture & Inclusion Conference as we explore how recent legislative changes and technology shifts are reshaping culture, talent and people compliance across the investment management industry. With the Employment Rights Act introducing one of the most significant changes to employment protection in a generation, firms are rapidly assessing how to adapt their people practices and risk frameworks.
Through keynote discussions, practical insights and industry-led panels, the conference will examine:

  • What the Employment Rights Act means in practice for firms, including managing organisational risk and workforce planning
  • The future of accountability and conduct under SM&CR, and how firms can strengthen culture and governance in a more complex regulatory environment
  • The wider implications for skills and competitiveness as organisations navigate simultaneous cultural and legislative pressures
  • Supporting firms to prepare for forthcoming ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting requirements, including data readiness and communication considerations.
  • How early talent programmes are evolving to ensure they are compliant, future‑ready and attractive to new industry entrants
