Are your listening efforts actually driving progress? Are managers enabling change or holding it back? Are your leaders visible and bought in - and do your employees feel it?

These are the questions at the heart of WorkBuzz Live 2026. Across keynotes, roundtables and peer discussions, we'll explore what it really takes to build a high-performing listening culture - from maturing your strategy and empowering managers, to unlocking leadership support and reigniting employee engagement.

Doors open at 8:30am for arrival and coffee, with the programme running from 9:30am to 4:30pm, followed by after-work drinks and networking until 6:30pm.

Full agenda will be revealed soon!
