Join Diversity Network's Livemeets
Our Diversity Network LiveMeet Networking sessions are intended to keep the conversation going between our larger events, giving our community a space to connect, share, and learn from one another.
These interactive live community discussion sessions, which take place online monthly, are attended by our members from all over the world, from California through to London through to Hong Kong through to Brisbane!
They are available to all our members, and cover a wide range of topics related to building an inclusive workplace culture, from fostering belonging to addressing challenges and celebrating progress.
After our initial discussion, we then breakout into smaller groups to discuss the topic in more depth and make new connections.
Why Conversations Matter
Creating truly inclusive workplaces isn’t just about policies—it’s about people. Real change happens through dialogue, where different perspectives come together to spark ideas, challenge assumptions, and build understanding. Our livemeets provide a safe, welcoming space for these important conversations, ensuring that inclusion remains an ongoing and evolving effort rather than a one-time initiative.
By staying connected and engaged, we strengthen our community, offer support, and empower one another to drive meaningful change. Whether it’s sharing best practices, tackling emerging challenges, or simply connecting with like-minded professionals, these sessions play a vital role in keeping our network strong.
We’d love you to join us. What’s on your mind?
Your virtual, supportive LiveMeet colleagues are right here for you!
In terms of diversity, equity, fairness, inclusion and accessibility trends, what are the main challenges, or opportunities you are noticing in your workplace?
What do you most need support with?
What topics would you love to explore with peers?
Whether it’s inclusive leadership, allyship, intersectionality, emotional intelligence, or something entirely new, our livemeets are shaped by the voices in our community.
If you’ve got an idea for a topic that you would really like us to cover at the LiveMeets, let us know.
