SEO London

Black Heritage Leadership Summit

Date: Friday 22 March 2024

Conference: 10:00am - 5:00pm

Venue: Nomura, 1 Angel Lane, London,
EC4R 3AB

The Black Heritage Summit is a dynamic and enriching event that celebrates and explores the rich cultural tapestry of the Black community. Join us for a thought-provoking gathering that features engaging discussions, cultural showcases, and networking opportunities. This summit provides a platform to amplify Black voices, share stories of resilience, and foster a sense of unity and empowerment. Don't miss this inspiring occasion to connect, learn, and honor the diverse heritage that shapes our shared history.

At SEO London, we believe that it is vital for our young Black leaders to be exposed to outstanding examples of Black excellence in order to be enabled and encouraged to flourish and aim high. We also believe that to limit the negative impacts of racism on young people, all sectors of society must engage with these issues through exchanging ideas and allyship.

SEO London’s vision of creating an equal society can only be realised through collective effort and through embracing the numerous values and benefits of diversity and inclusion. Throughout the summit, our senior leaders will deliver speeches and facilitate interactive lectures designed to inspire and empower young Black Heritage students to become successful and influential leaders, both within professional settings and community organisations.

 

What to expect:

  • You’ll have the opportunity to hear from inspiring leaders across different industries (investment banking and asset management, insurance, law, technology and more) and community organisations.  

  • You will take part in discussions that influence and inspire SEO London, our sponsor firms and dozens of Black Heritage students. 

  • Network with students exploring their career paths and experienced industry professionals who are examples of success stories
