About Diversity Reboot Summit

DEI is not just a gimmick—it’s a philosophy and practice that aims to make the world and its workplaces more diverse, and build work environments that are as they ought to be: where everyone is included and can bring their whole selves to work.

PowerToFly’s first Diversity Reboot summit specifically for our community in the United Kingdom and Europe will bring together a diverse group of underrepresented talent along with DEI, HR, and Talent leaders in business, tech, sales and beyond to discuss the latest DEI initiatives in the region, celebrate progress, and connect with change makers. Participants will hear from experts in business, policy, wellness, media, finance, tech, and more.

Following the summit, participants are invited to a free virtual job fair where leading companies committed to creating diverse and equitable workplaces will be looking for candidates for high-visibility roles across a variety of fields, industries and locations including remote and hybrid opportunities.

Come join us!

Note: This summit is intended for experienced professionals looking for professional development and/or career opportunities as well as DEI, HR, Talent leaders and business leaders based in the UK and Europe. The summit will take place on local time for this region.
