Welcome to Masculinity in the Workplace, designed specifically to engage men with creating inclusive cultures. Marking International Men’s Day, the objective of our event is to give men both the reason and the skills to lean into the conversation, while also providing women and non-binary people with the confidence to engage more men in culture change. Because ultimately we can only make real change by working together.

Date: Weds Nov 19 2025

Time: 12.30pm to 6pm

Location: Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion Square, London, WC1R 4RL

Our speakers will share their insights and experiences, shedding light on the evolving dynamics of masculinity, leadership and culturein diverse work environments. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, participate in interactive sessions, and network with like-minded professionals.

The theme for this year is ‘Supporting Boys to Men to Role Models’. This year’s event will seek to understand the concerns and barriers that are in the way for boys and men, particularly looking at key inflection points in their lives. It will equip parents, leaders, friends and persons of significance in the lives of young men with the tools for self-reflection, effective role modelling and courageous conversations..

It will suggest that status-seeking and risk-taking behaviours are innate as boys become men, look at how this shows up for boys in 2025 and question what support could help these boys have a more positive initiation in to adulthood so that they are ready for the workplace. We know that there is a reverse gender pay gap and that schools aren’t preparing students in the same way to enter the professional workplace – what needs to be done?

We will look at the behaviours that are role modelled by men once they are in the workplace. Is it healthy for us to look for male role models, or is a search for positive behaviours more effective? What can we learn from how men are represented on screen and in the media? And what can we do to support our men once they are in the workplace?

Who is this event for?

This event is for anyone passionate about creating more inclusive, equitable, diverse and human workplaces, and we welcome attendees of all identities and expressions.

Historically, our audience has included around 60% men and 40% women or non-binary people, with a wide range of roles and lived experiences.

This year, we’re especially keen to welcome CEOs, HRDs, CMOs, Inclusion & Diversity leaders, People & Culture teams, and anyone working to engage men more effectively in their organisations. Whether you’re a parent, people manager, or someone invested in systemic culture change, this event is for you.

What you can expect to walk away with:

• A deeper understanding of the generational divide – the hopes, aspirations of young men as they enter the workplace and the support that they need
• An understanding of what teenage boys are going through and how you can engage / support
• Insight into the role of positive male role models in creating healthy, inclusive cultures
• Tools for engaging men more meaningfully in inclusion and mental health conversations
• Practical micro-actions you and your organisation can take to support men, challenge stereotypes, and foster equity
• Stories of progress and transformation from organisations successfully shifting masculine norms
• A fresh perspective on the future of work – one where emotional expression, empathy, and vulnerability are recognised as leadership strengths

By attending, you’ll be joining a growing community of people committed to reshaping masculinity, unlocking allyship, and building workplace cultures where everyone can thrive – from boys and young men to senior leaders and everyone in between.
