Taking place at The Brewery, London, on Wednesday June 19, the Be Inspired conference will unite men and women from across retail. It will inspire people through the stories of others, open eyes to work opportunities and foster a culture of career confidence.

“This year’s conference will be bigger and bolder with a diverse speaker portfolio”

After last year’s sell-out event, which saw almost 500 delegates in attendance, this year’s conference will be bigger and bolder with a diverse speaker portfolio, a larger venue and a range of event offerings spanning keynote speeches through to one-on-one mentoring.

Key themes of the conference include resilience, tackling mental health issues, leadership and taking risks.
