The Pride in Leadership Annual Conference is returning to Manchester for a full day of insight and inspiration for our community and its allies. Held on 6th November 2025 at The Grosvenor, this event is designed for professionals who want to grow as leaders and build a strong network. It’s a unique chance to learn directly from some of the most influential people in our community.
The agenda is packed with a mix of keynote talks and interactive masterclasses. You’ll hear from a fantastic panel of speakers, including Bobbi Pickard and Laïla El-Métoui, who will be sharing their expertise on how to lead with pride, even in challenging times. The masterclasses are designed to give you the practical tools you need to succeed, with sessions on topics like self-advocacy and how to be an active bystander in the workplace. It’s all about getting real-world advice that can make a genuine difference to your career.
The conference also offers valuable networking opportunities. With over 200 people expected to attend, you’ll be able to connect with fellow leaders, aspiring professionals, and allies. You can share experiences, build relationships, and find new mentors. To cap off the day, a relaxed networking reception with a DJ will allow conversations to continue long after the talks finish.

You can book online and get a discount with the promo code EARLY25 before the end of the month. This is a brilliant opportunity to invest in your professional development that you do not want to miss.
