Share Your Story. Help Leaders Improve How Work Gets Done.

Across organisations everywhere, leaders are rethinking how work happens — not just what gets delivered.

This conference brings together a small group of people who are actively improving Ways of Working to achieve better outcomes.

If you’ve experimented with new approaches, learned hard lessons, shifted culture, organised around value, or used data to drive better decisions — we want to hear from you.

You don’t need the perfect success story. What matters most is honest experience and practical insight others can learn from.

Your story might be exactly what another leader needs to unlock progress in their organisation.

What Makes This Event Different

This isn’t a huge, anonymous conference. It’s a high-trust, high-learning environment designed for meaningful conversations and real connection.

  • A one-day conference in central London
  • A deliberately small group of ~100 leaders
  • Cross-functional perspectives from leaders across roles and industries
  • Sessions focused on practical experience, not theory
  • Refreshments and lunch included
  • Evening networking event to continue the conversations
The goal: maximise learning per minute and build connections that last well beyond the day.

Topics We’re Exploring

We’re looking for talks that help leaders improve organisational outcomes through better Ways of Working, including:

  • Organisational improvement
  • Using data to enable better decisions
  • Organising for value with value streams
  • Making culture change actionable
  • Modern leadership
  • Outcomes over output

If your talk helps leaders work differently to achieve better results, it’s likely a great fit.

Talks We Love

  • The most powerful sessions will include:
  • A real case study where outcomes improved
  • Practical lessons others can apply
  • Honest reflections on what worked — and what didn’t
  • Experiments, insights, and surprises along the way

We’re particularly interested in authentic practitioner stories.

Please note: sessions should not be product demonstrations or sales pitches

What Makes a Strong Submission

Great proposals typically include:

  • Clear organisational context
  • A specific challenge or change effort
  • Concrete actions, experiments, or interventions
  • Reflection on what you learned
  • Evidence of improved outcomes (especially data)

Don’t worry about being perfect — clarity and authenticity matter most

What You’ll Get as a Speaker

  • Beyond the stage, this event is about community.
  • Conference Speakers receive:
  • Invitation to the pre-conference speaker dinner
  • A complimentary conference ticket
  • A highly engaged audience of leaders eager to learn
  • Meaningful conversations with peers facing similar challenges
  • The opportunity to shape how organisations improve Ways of Working



Most speakers tell us the connections and conversations are the most valuable part of their speaking experience

We’d Love to Hear Your Story

If you’ve learned something about improving Ways of Working — whether through success, failure, or experimentation — please submit a talk.

If we cannot fit your learning into the schedule of the day itself there are a range of future opportunities for sharing which we would love to explore with you.

Your experience could help another leader unlock better outcomes in their organisation.
