Thursday 16th October 2025 – 30 Euston Square, London, UK

The Culture Pioneers Leadership Forum 2025

Prepare for what’s next — not just what’s now.

The Culture Pioneers Leadership Forum returns to London on 16 October 2025, bringing together senior HR and business leaders to explore how workplace culture must evolve to meet the demands of a new era of work.

AI, economic shifts, and rising expectations of leadership are rewriting the rules of work. The businesses that thrive will be those whose cultures are built for change. This event is not about looking back. It’s about asking — and answering — what leadership, performance, and culture need to look like in the years ahead.
