This year’s Inclusion Summit theme of “Performance with Purpose” signals a decisive shift in how organisations across Hospitality, Travel, Leisure and Retail understand leadership, value creation and long‑term success. For too long, purpose and performance have been treated as competing forces, as if leaders must choose between doing the right thing and delivering results. Yet all the evidence shows the opposite. In a high‑pressure environment shaped by talent shortages, shifting consumer expectations, investor scrutiny and constant disruption, the organisations that outperform are those that lead with clarity of purpose and discipline of execution.

This year’s theme will be brought to life through panel discussions, workshops and keynote presentations. Experts, practitioners and senior leaders will examine how purpose‑driven, inclusive cultures drive productivity, innovation and sustainable profit. Sessions will focus on the realities of leadership today, how leaders and boards translate values into commercial value and how purpose, when embedded properly, becomes a competitive advantage, not a cost.

The 2026 Inclusion Summit agenda will turn insight into action and equip leaders to embed inclusive leadership at the core of commercial strategy.
