Experience the power of WeAreOpen’s Break the Silence campaign, directed by Balázs Budavári and featuring well-known actors like Ádel Jordán, Angela Eke, Edmond Oláh, and Zsolt László.

Rooted in strategic and systemic changes, this framework fosters psychological safety, openness, and inclusivity, ensuring that every employee can thrive. Join us to explore how this methodology can reshape organizations from within, embedding inclusion into every aspect of workplace operations.
PANEL
Closing the Gap: Boosting Bargaining Power for Underrepresented Groups
The pay gap isn’t just about numbers—it’s of course also about power. Underrepresented groups often face lower bargaining power, making it harder to negotiate salaries, benefits, and career advancement. In this panel, we’ll explore the root causes of this imbalance and provide actionable strategies for organizations to level the playing field. Learn how companies can foster transparency, implement equitable pay structures, and empower employees to advocate for their worth.
PANEL
Hire and Higher: WeAreOpen’s Inclusive Hiring Methodology
Inclusive hiring isn’t just a checkbox—it’s a game-changer for businesses and employees alike. Built on WeAreOpen’s recently developed methodology, this session introduces the Hire and Higher framework, designed to help organizations attract, recruit, and retain diverse talent. Learn how structured hiring practices can remove bias, create equitable opportunities, and drive innovation by ensuring workplaces reflect the rich diversity of society.
PANEL
AI & Bias: The Hidden Prejudices of Machine Learning
Artificial Intelligence promises efficiency, innovation, and objectivity—but can it also reinforce human biases? From facial recognition to content moderation and financial decision-making, AI systems often reflect the biases embedded in the data they are trained on. This panel explores the ethical challenges of biased AI, its impact on marginalized communities, and what organizations can do to develop fairer, more responsible AI systems. Join us for a critical discussion on how to harness AI’s power while ensuring it serves everyone equitably.
PANEL
Cracking the Code: Why Women Are Underrepresented in STEM
Despite growing opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), women remain significantly underrepresented—especially in fields like ICT, where only 14% of graduates are female. Why does this gap persist? This panel explores the systemic barriers, cultural biases, and structural challenges that deter women from entering and thriving in STEM careers. From early education to workplace dynamics, we’ll examine what needs to change and how organizations, educators, and policymakers can work together to close the gender gap in STEM.
PANEL
DEI Under Fire: Should We Defend Inclusion in an Age of Backlash?
As global political landscapes shift—marked by events such as Donald Trump’s return to power, increasing anti-DEI rhetoric, and backlash against diversity initiatives—what does the future hold for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)? In this panel, experts will unpack the evolving challenges and opportunities for DEI in a rapidly changing world. Will businesses double down on inclusion, or will we see a rollback of progress? How can organizations navigate the growing political and social pressures while staying committed to building diverse and equitable workplaces? Or are they really committed? Join us to dfind out more.
