Have you got your ticket yet to MAD World Leaders Summit on 9th October in London? If not, why not? Time is running out!
Here’s why Leaders are coming to the event, which brings together top thinkers in the Culture, Employee Health and Wellbeing sector….
Annisha Taylor, Head of Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Ofcom and former BBC Head of Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging
“I’ve always heard great things about MAD World Leaders Summit, but this is actually my first time coming, and the speakers are really impressive.
I’m looking forward to listening and to meeting people in person that I’ve admired from afar for some time.
At events like MAD World, you can have real, honest and open conversations that address the reality of operating in the space of EDI at the moment.
Given everything that’s happened and the political backlash, now is the time for us to talk really openly about what this means for us as individuals who are operating in this space, but also for organisations which are also navigating unprecedented times.”
Karen Sancto, EMEA Benefits Consultant and EMEA Lead of Families, Microsoft
“I’m coming for the case studies and the stories.
And hearing about successful supplier relationships and partnerships.
I’m especially looking forward to hearing the challenges that people have had, and how they’ve overcome them, as well as where people see the future.”
Jamie Broadley, Group Head of Health and Wellbeing, Serco
“Us Heads of Wellbeing are often flying solo in our own organisations so I always welcome the opportunity to step outside the bubble and connect with peers, hear what they’re up to and put the world to rights! I also value these events for giving me a nudge to challenge existing thinking, consider other approaches and generally freshen up my mindset.
Given that I am usually the one sneaking off onto an earlier train to get back to the green and peace of the Peak District, let’s just say that if I’m making the effort then it really must be worth it and you’ve got no excuse!”
Dr Lia Ali, NHS Digital Health Innovation Strategist
“I’m really looking forward to the conversations and the breadth of people speaking.
I am very much a lifelong learner, and I love that opportunity to be able to hear different sector experiences and to hear how problems are framed for people. I love that. That’s my happy place!
Susan Gee, Group Occupational Health & Wellbeing Manager, Yorkshire Water
“I’m hoping that audiences will leave my session, and the conference, with the message that if you take the lipstick off the pig, this is about business sustainability and business is not sustainable without employees.
Employees have got to be motivated to do meaningful, good, safe work. They also need to have a ‘fair’ day’s work for a fair day’s pay, with psychological safety.
True employee health, wellbeing and safety cannot be achieved by putting a single duvet on a double bed.”
Chloe Muir, Director of Talent and DEI, Pinsent Masons
“I’m looking forward to hearing from professionals across sectors about what’s genuinely driving impact in workplace wellbeing and where we still have work to do.
I’m particularly interested in how organisations are embedding a culture of care in high-performance environments.
MAD World Summit brings together wellbeing, workplace culture, health, and commercial strategy in a way that’s both practical and progressive, and I’m excited to explore how data can be used not just to influence decisions, but to drive meaningful change.”
Matt Wilson, UK Wellbeing Lead, Computacenter
“I look forward to events like MAD World hugely. They’re a really good chance to see people in person that you see all the time on LinkedIn. For me, it’s like being at Madame Tussauds but without the wax works!
Being around like-minded people always leaves me inspired on the train home. There’s so much shared in-person, in those informal conversations, that can really make a difference to your work and thinking, and provide you with little nuggets that drive you forward.”
