One of the most comprehensive events dedicated to workplace well-being, it's set to attract over 5000+ attendees from around the UK and Europe across the two days. A groundbreaking experience of new insights, cutting-edge approaches, eye-opening keynotes and practical takeaways, the agenda has been carefully curated to provide value to all attendees from individual employees or employers to organisations of all sizes.

For the 2023 conference, example speakers include former professional footballer - Clarke Carlisle alongside his wife, Carrie Carlisle, Global Head, Employee Health and Wellbeing at GSK - Dr Monika Misra and Head of Cognitive Design and Neurodiversity Program Lead at BBC CAPE - Sean Gilroy.

An unmissable experience, content and interactive opportunities will cover a wide range of topics from balancing productivity and wellbeing in a hybrid world of work, women's health in the workplace to the impact of the cost of the living crisis on wellbeing and what employers can do about it.

Claire Farrow, Partner & Global Director of Content of Make A Difference Events, said: "In a world where change is the only constant, one thing is certain.
