Global Disability ERG Summit Livestream

PurpleSpace supported by our partners Motability Operations, MSD and our Media Partner, The Financial Times is convening the world’s first Global Disability ERG/Network Summit on 15th October 2024.

During the Summit, we will:

• Convene disability ERG / Network leaders and key stakeholders at a ‘free-at-source’ hybrid global event.

• Connect with groups of disability ERG / Network leaders via supported Local Hub events around the globe.

• Determine the top three strategic drivers of workplace equity as expressed directly by people with disabilities – that, if tackled, would result in lasting change in the employment prospects of employees with disabilities.

The drivers to be discussed come from the 2023 publication ‘The top ten priorities of Disability ERG/ Network Leaders’ (sponsored by Novartis and Tesco), which was sourced from our network of over 4,000 + disability ERG /Network leaders working across nearly 200 organisations.

Expected global impact:

• Clear messages from employees with disabilities regarding the barriers that employers must remove if they are to thrive at work.

• A new and compelling business and ethical rationale for investing in disability ERGs promoted across the global business community via our media partner, the Financial Times.

• An energized global movement of up to 2,000 disability ERG/Network leaders, champions and allies who represent the interests of over 1.5 million employees with disabilities.

• Increased capacity of PurpleSpace to nurture and enhance the impact and contribution of disability ERG/Networks worldwide and drive the future growth of this global movement.
