We run a lively events programme throughout the year, bringing members and stakeholders together with our experts to network, engage, share ideas and develop policy thinking that shapes the capital’s future. The vast majority are now in-person, with a select few remaining virtual.

Most of our 120 events a year are for members and invited stakeholders, but if you see one you’d like to attend, please get in touch with us. Our flagship conference programme is open to all, with tickets available for non-members. If you would like the know more about the forward programme, get in touch.

Supporting disabled people into employment and to thrive in the workplace

What can we do to help more disabled people into employment and then thrive once they are in the workplace? Around 1 in 5 working age adults in the UK are disabled. Despite this large and growing number, disabled people are almost twice as likely to be unemployed as non-disabled people, and 3 times as likely to be economically inactive.

London LSIP: How can London lead a transferable skills revolution?

As the new London Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIP) sets out, there is a growing employer demand for people with essential, transferable skills which can be used in a variety of roles or occupations, such as such as critical thinking, resilience and problem solving. As new technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) transform the labour market in the coming years, these skills will become even more vital. Yet many employers are struggling to access people with these skills or develop their existing workforce.
