About this event

Science & Tech • High Tech

This year, The Voices In The Shadow returns with a soulful, intimate celebration themed “The Journey Within: I Am…” a powerful exploration of identity, alignment, and self-connection.

From curated fireside chats and immersive soft zones, the day invites you to slow down and go deep. Expect thought-provoking conversations on purpose, pivots, power, and personal growth, each session designed to spark inner dialogue and communal wisdom.

Please note: With every ticket bought, you will receive a copy of The Connection Journal. Each session is capped at 60 participants to ensure a high-quality experience as well as to accommodate venue capacity. Kindly prioritise the session you would like to attend and book that one. If more spaces become available for the other session on the day, you are welcome to stay and join.

When you order The Voices in the Shadow 5 or The Connection Journal, it contributes to our distribution of the book to schools for free. Help us get this book full of inspirational stories distributed to all secondary schools for FREE in the UK and Ireland so we can bring more diversity to tech.

THE CONNECTION BLUEPRINT JOURNAL

As part of The Voices In The Shadow Volume 5, themed around Connection, this exclusive journal is more than just a tool, it’s a transformative 12-week companion for professionals seeking harmony, fulfilment, and success. Designed to inspire deeper self-connection, career alignment, and meaningful relationships, The Connection Blueprint empowers readers to thrive in both life and work.

Rooted in the power of connection, this guided journey takes readers through three pivotal phases:

  • Reflection – Cultivating self-awareness and clarity
  • Realignment – Setting intentional goals for career and personal growth
  • Activation – Turning insights into action for lasting success

This is a bridge to renewed purpose, sustainable growth, and career transformation.
