Black Leadership Group Annual Conference 2024

Conference resources

Our ground-breaking conference on 21st March 2024 invited you to join fellow professionals to discuss and shape actions for developing an anti-racist world. Sponsored by Google for Education and Institute of Directors (IoD), the event was held across five venues – in Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh and London – and online. New Wales First Minister Vaughan Gething MS and Cardiff and Vale College sponsored the event at The Senedd. It was a truly inspirational day with world-class speakers and vital discussions, and clear calls to action shared nationwide in an unforgettable ‘Golden Threads’ plenary before the close.

On this page, you will find valuable resources shared on the day, including prospectuses, case studies, presentations and programmes for each of the venues and online. Click on the links to access them. Also, we include a link to a film shot at the event in London, at the IoD in Pall Mall, and a compilation video across all venues.

This page will be updated with more valuable information from conference, so watch this space! We’ll also notify you when more content is added. In the meantime, we hope you find these resources useful and also a reminder of what an inspirational event this was. Now for action!
