From Bystander to Upstander, why does DE&I matter—really?

CGI Launches in Leeds: Celebrating Diversity, Inclusion & Innovation

Join us for an inspiring evening at CGI’s Leeds office as we launch our presence in West Yorkshire during Leeds Digital Festival 2025.

This special event highlights our commitment to inclusive, people-led innovation and sustainable growth in the North—building on the legacy of BJSS.

Expect personal stories, thought-provoking conversations, community connection and a celebration of what makes inclusive growth possible.

  • Opening panel: Hear from leaders in our community as they share what drives their passion for DE&I and reflect on personal experiences that shaped their journey.
  • Breakout conversations: Join smaller groups for candid discussion on diversity of thought, creating environments where every voice is heard, and how lived experience inspires change.
  • Turning words into action: Each attendee will complete a pledge card, committing to one action that will advance inclusion tomorrow.
