Tickets now on sale for a business conference with a difference
Tickets are now on sale for Shropshire’s Leadership Conference 2024.
Billed as a business conference with a difference, it brings together influential speakers from an array of backgrounds to impart their knowledge and experience of the future of leadership.
The much-anticipated event, which is being organised by the council’s Shropshire HR, is on Tuesday 16 April 2024 at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury.
The first of the keynote speakers will be Michael Heppell. Not only an international best-selling author, Michael is described as ‘one of the top three professional speakers in the world’. He will be talking about ‘how to be brilliant’.

Joining Michael on the stage will be John Williams, The Institute of Leadership’s CEO, a problem solver and strategist who brought with him experience from a career in international business and leadership development across the UK, Europe, Middle East, Far East and North America. His focus will be to help those listening to be ready to adapt to the ever-changing circumstances they face as leaders.

Last, but by no means least, of the inspirational keynote speakers is Joanne Lockwood FPSA FRSA FIEDP. Joanne is the founder and CEO of SEE Change Happen, a diversity, inclusion and belonging practice with a specialism in providing transgender awareness and support to organisations and businesses. Her mantra is smile, engage and educate, and she passionately believes that ‘people are people’ and, no matter who they are, deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.

That’s not all though, the day is packed full of thought-provoking hands-on masterclasses and workshops to inspire, challenge and evolve people’s thinking about the future of leadership, focusing on belief in potential, change and technology.
The event will also feature exhibit stands and interactive demos and wellbeing activities, as a reminder to prioritise mental health and resilience in the workplace.
Gwilym Butler, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for finance and corporate resources, said:-
