What we mean by diversity and inclusion

Many of us live in richly diverse societies, yet this diversity is not often reflected in products, services and systems offered because of the barriers that are created through their design.

For us, inclusive processes are about centring the voices of people from groups that have been marginalised by society and systems based on race, sexuality, age, ability, class and/or language.

Target audience

Researchers

How it works

After registering, you will receive email invitations to sign up for sessions and join our Slack group. During the conference, you will be invited to join our community space to share learnings and reflections with other attendees.

Our talks are pre-recorded to make them as accessible as possible, and reduce any tech problems! The recordings are available during and after the conference. Read more about our accessibility plan and let us know if you have any questions.

What's new this year:

We're keeping the popular panel discussions, inspiring talks, and collaborative workshops from 2021, while adding exciting new ways for you to connect with other attendees:

Coffee groups: Sign up for coffee sessions and be paired with a small group of other conference attendees to chat informally
Interactive communal wall: Record your reflections, learnings, and questions on each event for others to see

I found attending the last Magnify conference inspiring. To hear speakers talk about inclusion from so many different backgrounds is so valuable. To know you're not alone with your thinking and challenge self-doubt which is often distorted by narrow thinkers. This forum encourages the capability of all. I cannot recommend this conference any higher, something I endeavour never to miss.
