Welcome to Dive In – the festival for diversity and inclusion in insurance

The fourth Dive In Festival will take place from 25 to 27 September 2018 across the globe.

Dive In 2018 marks the start of a two-year campaign, Awareness into Action. After three years of raising awareness of the business case for diversity and inclusion, it’s imperative that we now harness the energy of the festival to encourage action across the sector.

This year’s theme is #time4inclusion. Last year, CEOs from across the industry pointed out that time is the biggest barrier to achieving inclusive cultures in their organisations. Dive In is helping insurance get fit for the future, highlighting the business case for diverse and inclusive workplaces and providing practical ideas and inspiration for how to bring about positive change.

In 2017, the festival attracted more than 7,000 people in 17 countries and 32 cities. We believe this makes Dive In unique, as an international, sector-wide, concurrent D&I event.

Dive In is an initiative of Inclusion@Lloyd’s, a collaboration between the Corporation of Lloyd’s, IUA, LIIBA, and the Lloyd’s Market Association, whose aim is to pool resources, widen perspectives and share best practice in diversity and inclusion to effect change faster.
