What is the conference about? 

We’re shaking things up for 2026. The Diversity Data Benchmarking Conference is back and this time, in addition to hearing insights about the data and the results of the survey, it’s all about action, collaboration, and connection. 

Forget the traditional format. Get ready for a day packed with powerful conversations, fresh perspectives, and real stories of change. You’ll walk away with practical ideas to put into action, inspiration from those leading the way, and connections that can spark collaboration long after the event ends.

Hear from inspiring speakers including:

• Faye Allen, Regional Director, Rimkus (author of Building Women)

• Luke Ives, Associate and Culture, Equity and Inclusion Lead, Arup

• Dana James-Edwards, Head of Fairness, Inclusion and Respect (FIR), Action Sustainability & Supply Chain School

• Liv Banfield, Senior Analysis & Impact Manager, Action Sustainability

It’s your opportunity to get inspired, share experiences, and build the relationships that will drive diversity and inclusion forward in our industry. 

Proudly presented in collaboration with HS2, National Highways, Network Rail and Transport for London.
