About this event
Hosted by Crunch (Audience Collective’s recruitment media division), this session will bring together senior leaders to explore how DE&I is evolving across tech and what that means for hiring, retention, and long-term business performance.
The conversation will be structured to surface both perspective and practical insight, focusing on:
- How DE&I priorities have shifted over the past 12–18 months
- Whether initiatives are still driving meaningful change or becoming compliance-led
- The internal and external pressures shaping current approaches
- Where progress continues to stall, including pay equity, representation, and retention
- The role of recruitment, employer brand, and media in enabling real impact
