Building on the momentum of last year’s call to “Join the Movement,” GIS25 takes the conversation forward with a bold new focus: “Leading the Way in Inclusive Leadership and Workplace Transformation – Inclusion Is No Longer a Choice, It’s the Future of Work.”
This year, we move from commitment to action—bringing together changemakers to reimagine leadership, redesign workplaces, and drive lasting impact. As the future of work unfolds, #GIS25 is where inclusive leadership takes center stage.
In today’s rapidly evolving world of work, inclusion is no longer a progressive ideal—it is a strategic imperative. As organizations face unprecedented shifts in workforce demographics, employee expectations, and global interconnectedness, building inclusive cultures has become a key driver of innovation, resilience, and sustainable growth.
GIS25 brings together visionary leaders, change-makers, and industry experts to explore how inclusive leadership and equitable workplace transformation are shaping the future of work. The summit will spotlight best practices, emerging trends, and actionable insights that empower organizations to move beyond diversity checkboxes and embed inclusion into the very core of their culture, systems, and leadership behaviors.
