Your No. 1 Conference on
DIVERSITY, INCLUSION AND VALUES
For the past 6 years, we have been setting the trends and sharing best-practice under the D&I Changemakers brand. Our goal is to support businesses in managing their diversity policies more effectively, with imagination and foresight. Our annual event has always been and still is non-profit and free-of-charge for all participants.
We feel proud and happy to have created the most important event in D&I management for business. As always, content quality remains our top priority. D&I Changemakers stands for premium knowledge, fresh inspirations and insightful forecasts based on research and practical experience. Clear, well-presented and inspiring content are among our event’s key advantages.

Humanity is back to work(place)!
We bring you business case studies and human stories that will convince you to invest your time, energy and resources in diversity. We can only MAKE THIS CHANGE HAPPEN TOGETHER.
With diversity, we change the world of business for the better.
We help build an open and friendly world around us. We deliver knowledge, experience and best practice, helping businesses benefit from diversity and impact positive social change. On average, people spend 8 hours or more at work, much more than with their families at home. This makes workplaces play a huge role in shaping our behavior patterns and attitudes. This is why we believe there is a great, untapped potential in a workplace to build a better world. At Diversity Hub, we focus on people and the underlying values of diversity and inclusion.
We promote the idea of managing diversity in a business environment.
We integrate the community of experts around diversity, we look for practical and effective solutions and help develop successful practices. We stimulate the debate on topics related to diversity involving diverse environments. This way, we bring together the many different approaches to the subject, sometimes divergent but always inspiring. At Diversity Hub, we solve specific problems of employers in the area of D&I and we carry out research aimed at data accuracy and comprehensive knowledge of the various fields of diversity management.
