Immersively Inclusive: Experience IE&D through a new lens

Wednesday 3rd September | 2-5pm | Central London

SpeakEasy is our event series exclusively for HR Managers, Heads of L&D, Talent Leads and anyone in the People space.

You’ve seen the headlines. Maybe you’ve even demoed it at a conference.

But have you experienced how VR can drive real change in Diversity and Inclusion?

Most organisations say they value inclusion and diversity. And many genuinely do. But for L&D leaders, the challenge is: how do you empower people across your business to truly uphold, demonstrate, and protect those values every day?

This hands-on workshop is your opportunity to discover how immersive technology could be part of the solution. You’ll have the chance to step inside VR experiences designed specifically for workplace learning around IE&D.

What’s involved?

1. An AI-powered roleplay on Neurodiversity

…where you’ll support a colleague with ADHD in a conversation designed to build empathy, trust, and practical solutions. You'll get live feedback on how you did and areas to grow.

2. A VR scenario on Gender Inclusion

…where you’ll witness non-inclusive behaviour and step into the shoes of someone who needs to challenge it. It’s immersive, it's confronting, and it’s real-world practice in a safe space.

Join us to:

Experience a first-hand trial of VR in action, purpose-built for inclusive learning

Hear real talk from L&D experts already using VR. What works, what’s tricky, and what to try next

Receive live feedback and insight on your own VR experience to inform future learning strategies

Take away fresh ideas for how VR could support your D&I and L&D goals back at work

As always, SpeakEasy is a time to connect with fellow L&D innovators over good coffee and conversation

Whether you're VR-curious or actively exploring immersive tech, this is your chance to test it, question it, and see if it’s the right fit for your organisation.
