Join Fraya Brinkman, Partnership & Event Manager for Rare Founders London’s Largest Demo Day and Gabby Austen Browne, Founder of Diversity Alliance, in an honest fireside chat exploring their collaborative journey from questioning "are we doing enough?" to implementing data-driven DEIA strategies and strategic partnerships that transformed the event's inclusion score. Through candid insights and authentic dialogue, they share how an initial ambition to make events for the UK Startup ecosystem more welcoming uncovered systematic opportunities to enhance attendee experience, strengthen partner relations, and create genuine impact.
Learn how strategic DEI auditing goes beyond surface-level compliance to deliver:

• Quantifiable benchmarks for measuring progress
• Evidence-based recommendations for immediate and long-term improvements
• Practical frameworks for implementing inclusive practices
