The Henley Forum Annual Conference 2021 - Becoming Agile: An
international festival of learning
Conference dates: 26-29 April 2021
Fringe sessions: 21 April & 5 May 2021
It's been a demanding year and agility has been essential – both
personally and organisationally. The world of work is messy but the
pandemic has thrown a whole new curve ball. We've all had to make
sense of the chaos and adapt to survive in the uncertainty. At the
Henley Forum 21st Annual Conference, we will celebrate innovative
practice, share the learning and look ahead to the future of work.
The theme this year is about being agile - our ability to respond,
adapt and renew quickly in a rapidly changing, turbulent and uncertain
world - rather than doing 'Agile' methodology.
Format:
This year, making the most of the virtual format, we have opened our
doors to the world! With an international line-up of speakers and
participation from across the globe, we're looking forward to a truly
international festival of learning. We hope you will join us.
This is a carefully curated conference, not a series of webinars.
Each day we will take a new perspective on our Conference theme
‘Becoming Agile’. Making connections between the sessions and the
sub-themes offers you much richer insights.

-

from different sectors
-

innovative thought leaders
-

existing one
-
