Leading a team or business is not easy. The leaders have not been born (yet) with the necessary skills and knowledge to lead in a world where the pace of change, scale of disruption and uncertainty is so high.

So, the Disruptive Innovators Network (DIN) is going to do something about that for its housing leaders and help you make sense of the world and start you on the journey to acquiring the skills you need to lead in it.

This brand new event is exclusively for housing directors across all disciplines who want to invest in their futures, either for making the big step up to being a future CEO or a larger business.

We have assembled a team of leaders that would make the Avengers look like underachievers, people with real world experiences and stories to share that you can actually learn from. And as usual for a DIN event no BS allowed.

Featuring a mixture of keynotes, fireside chats and panels this will be one day in the year we promise you will leave inspired, motivated, informed and yes challenged.

Hosted by: Ian Wright, Founder and CEO, Disruptive Innovators Network and Helena Moore, Associate Director, People and Culture, DIN, our speakers include:

Paul Sweeney, Co-Founder Disruption Space, Former FTSE 100 Chief Strategy Officer and author of Magnetic Nonsense: A Short History of Bullshit at Work and How to Make It Go Away
