Stronger Together Conference 2026

Stronger Together Conference 2026 takes place on 20 November 2026. Venue: NatWest Group, London.

Stronger Together: Building Bridges On Friday 20 November, Male Allies UK, led by CEO Lee Chambers, will bring 250 delegates together at NatWest, Bishopsgate, for a full-day national conference built around one shared belief: a future that works for everyone cannot be built by asking people to retreat into separate corners. Timed alongside International Men’s Day and its global theme, The Future Is Everyone, Stronger Together will combine new State of Allyship research from Ipsos with lived experience, storytelling and practical participation. This is not a day of short corporate statements or passive panels. Attendees will help shape the questions, explore how bridges are built across genuine difference, and connect workplace action with what sport, family, media, community and public life can teach us about belonging. Every participant will leave with practical ideas, valuable new relationships, a conference workbook and a written 90-day commitment designed to turn intention into action. Limited early-bird delegate places are now available. Why This Conference, Why Now Timed alongside International Men's Day 2026 and its global theme, The Future Is Everyone, Stronger Together creates a national space for a more hopeful and practical conversation. Male Allies UK will bring together employees, networks, leaders, partners, public institutions, future leaders and voices from beyond the usual corporate circuit. Business will sit alongside sport, family, media, politics, community and public life, because workplaces do not operate in a vacuum and meaningful change cannot stay inside one sector. What You Will Experience New State of Allyship research from Ipsos will ground the day in evidence. Longer expert-led sessions will then open the conversation to the room, creating space for productive tension, lived experience and questions that people genuinely want answered. Creative expression, human stories and participatory moments will run throughout the programme. Every major session will include a route for the audience to contribute, while virtual attendees and corporate watch parties will join selected moments as active participants. What You Will Leave With Strong emotion matters, but this conference is designed to move beyond a moment. Every participant will use the conference workbook to capture learning, build connections and write one 90-day commitment. You will leave with a clearer understanding of the State of Allyship, practical ideas for your role and organisation, and a named person or group who can help you turn intention into action. Who Should Attend Employees and employee network members who want practical ways to make allyship part of everyday work. People, HR, EDI, learning and organisational development leaders. Managers and senior leaders responsible for culture, teams and accountability. Public service, government, academic, institutional and community voices. Organisations looking for a meaningful International Men's Day activation. Anyone who believes gender dialogue, human connection and shared responsibility matter. What Makes Stronger Together Different Full day at NatWest with enough space for evidence, disagreement, reflection and action. Longer open sessions rather than a programme dominated by short corporate panels. New Ipsos research used as a reference point throughout the day. Stories from beyond business that make the issue felt as well as understood. Audience-led questions and one collective activation shared across the room and watch parties. Printed conference workbook and a personal 90-day commitment.
