Masculinity in the Workplace - 2026 (In-person)

Masculinity in the Workplace is an annual event designed to help men better support inclusion and diversity. MASCULINITY IN THE WORKPLACE - 2026 Brought to you by Token Man and The Hobbs Consultancy. Welcome to Masculinity in the Workplace, the International Men's Day event designed specifically to engage men with creating inclusive cultures. The objective of our event is to give men both the reason and the skills to lean into the conversation, while also providing women and non-binary people with the confidence to engage more men in culture change. Because ultimately we can only make real change by working together. Date: Thursday Nov 19 2026 Time: 12.45pm to 6pm Location: Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion Square, London, WC1R 4RL Our speakers will share their insights and experiences, shedding light on the evolving dynamics of masculinity, leadership and culturein diverse work environments. You'll have the chance to ask questions and participate in interactive sessions. The theme for this year is 'Winning Masculinities: Past, Present and Future'. As Masculinity in the Workplace celebrates its tenth anniversary, this year's event will explore the different versions of masculinity that have shaped our workplaces, communities and society over the past decade, and ask which forms of masculinity are thriving today and which we want to see more of in the future. At a time when masculinity is being pulled in many directions, from the influence of social media and public figures to changing expectations of leadership and inclusion, the conversation has never felt more relevant. Through a diverse range of speakers and stories, we will explore the behaviours, values and qualities that are rewarded, celebrated and amplified, and the role organisations play in shaping those choices. This anniversary event will combine reflection, challenge and celebration. Alongside recognised leaders and public figures, we will shine a spotlight on the everyday examples of masculinity that positively influence teams, families, communities and workplaces. Together, we will explore what has changed, what remains unresolved, and what kind of masculinity we want future generations to inherit. This site is for the in-person experience. Otherwise you can register for the online version here. FYI - There will be coffee and refreshments but lunch will not be provided. Who is this event for?
