This year’s festival will feature more than 130 speakers, 150 sessions, 140 activities and over 210 exhibitors across seven dedicated stages.

The two-day festival is now open for registration and will showcase a wide range of speakers, exhibitors and interactive features.

The system gives businesses real-time visibility of jobs, workforce activity, assets and costs.

The one-day forum will bring together business leaders, HR professionals and learning and development specialists to explore the future of employee experience.

The Disability Confident Job Fair will run from 10am to 1pm at the Guildhall, High Street, Bath, BA1 5AW.

The first session took place on 1st October, covering topics such as responsible AI, generative AI, AI fluency, prompt power, and the risks of deepfakes.

The event will take place on 7th October at the Leisure Terrace Level 1, opposite Cineworld, from 10am to 1pm.

The event is set for 18th September 2025 at the V&A Dundee and will bring together decision-makers from across the construction sector.

Now in their fourth year, the awards aim to highlight employers who are taking practical steps to normalise menopause and menstruation in the workplace.

'The Pivot' will focus on career confidence and "mastering the art of spin," to make the most of opportunities in the current climate.

The event is aimed at mortgage professionals who are looking for more flexibility and support as they move to self-employment.

Doug Elliott said: "Motorvate was a brilliant showcase of how the automotive industry can engage and inspire future talent."
