Annual Conference - Brave Conversations - Driving Safety Through Influence

Event Overview

  • 6th October 2026
  • 09:30 AM - 04:00 PM

This conference is for leaders who know that safety isn’t just about systems - it’s about conversations.

It’s for those who:

  • Want to move beyond compliance and genuinely influence behaviour
  • Find themselves navigating difficult conversations and want to do it better
  • Recognise that how they show up as a leader shapes the culture around them

Whether you lead a team, advise others, or carry responsibility for safety performance, this day will challenge your thinking and give you practical ways to lead differently from tomorrow.

We've brought together an exceptional lineup of speakers to guide you through a day of reflection and connection, and provide practical tools you can take straight back into your workplace:

  • Drew Povey – former Head Teacher from TV Show Educating Greater Manchester | Growth Mindset (Motivational Keynote)
  • Becky Ray | Leading Yourself First: Powerful Conversations Start Within (Workshop)
  • Karen Hewitt | From Difficult to Powerful Conversations•
  • Plus, a special lunchtime session with Harold Floyd of Elite Force Safety

Every delegate will also receive a copy of Karen's ‘Safety Chat Boxes’ (worth £32.50) - a brilliant resource to keep the conversation going long after the day is done.
