SRAG Summit: Hosted by Mitie, London (Venue TBC)

The third SRAG Summit of 2026. All things inclusive recruitment, purposeful procurement, strategic partnerships and social value impact.

Where SRAG employers come to work, not just to listen.

Inclusive recruitment, purposeful procurement, strategic partnerships and social value impact.

Join us on July 16 2026 at 9:30 AM (BST) for the next SRAG Summit - your opportunity to connect with fellow social recruitment enthusiasts to share ideas, and learn new tips in a collaborative, friendly setting.

What to expect

SRAG Summits have a stage and an agenda. What they don't have is the feeling that the day was decided without you.

Speakers present work in progress, not polished retrospectives. Panel discussions go where the room takes them. The networking isn't a break from the substance - it is part of it, guided by the kind of common purpose that makes conversations between strangers feel immediately useful. The day evolves and asks something of you.

Experts bring external perspective. Peers bring the honest version of what's working. You will hear from employers doing this work at scale and in complexity, and have conversations that are genuinely productive because the people in the room are navigating the same landscape from different positions. You may leave with a contact, a framework, a question that reframes something you thought you'd resolved - or movement on something you'd stopped expecting to shift.

The Partner Carousel is a fixture of every Summit. Attendees move in groups through the venue, spending time with strategic partners who can support social value delivery on the ground - from funding and training access to impact measurement and community reach. It is structured enough to guarantee the conversation happens, informal enough that it goes somewhere useful. If a partner is the right fit for where your organisation is heading, you'll know by the end of the session.

Charter Mark awards are presented at every Summit, and our new SRAG Social Value Awards - shareable recognition for organisations that have advanced their practice since the last gathering. That progression in the room prompts meaningful reflection.

If you've been working on social value in relative isolation - inside your organisation, inside your sector - a SRAG Summit is where that work finds its wider context.

Come ready to contribute. That's when it works best.
