This forum will equip business delegates with the guidance to develop and implement robust human rights strategies, whilst remaining compliant with all emerging legislation.
Throughout the two days, we’ll place an emphasis on how business can tackle modern slavery and forced labour. We’ll discuss how company practices have evolved since the introduction of legislation, and assess how businesses can continue to progress in removing slavery from supply chains and operations.

What’s different about this forum?
Innovation Forum is:
- Candid: Entirely off-the-record discussion that enables open and honest disclosure from speakers and genuine participation from the audience.
- Practical: A clear focus on the practical and actionable guidance that can drive change throughout industries and supply chains.
- Focused: We provide enough time, resources and expertise to the issues that really matter. We don’t skate the surface, but get to the crux of the issues to provide in-depth, constructive discussion.
Innovation Forum is NOT:
- A PR platform: Enthusiastic speakers are NOT given free rein to fill a session presenting their companies, allowing no time to actually get to the crux of the issues.
- A talking shop: This is NOT an opportunity for a group people in a room to simply agree with everything said, regardless of outcomes.
- All promise, no delivery: We will NOT promise what we can’t deliver. The issues covered are complex. They won’t be solved at a two-day conference. But we will help deliver progress through in-depth, constructive and practical advice around specific issues.
