The UK’s high-profile Business and Modern Slavery Conference will take place for the first time in Wales on 9 and 10 September this year, hosted by Cardiff University’s Modern Slavery and Social Sustainability Research Group, held at the Postgraduate Teaching Centre, Cardiff Business School.
This year's theme, ‘Towards Humanising Supply Chains - Reconciling People and Business’, underscores our shared mission to reconnect ethical and humane practices with business operations, striving for a future where the well-being of people is integral to business success.
The Conference will provide a vital platform for engaging in meaningful dialogue, presenting cutting-edge research, and exploring innovative solutions. We invite participants from across business sub-disciplines and related sectors and fields to contribute to this essential conversation. Together, we will examine new avenues that dismantle harmful systems, while promoting sustainable, human-centred practices that reconcile the needs of both people and business.
Dr Maryam Lotfi from the Cardiff Business School and Dr Anna Skeels from Cardiff University’s Social Science Research Park (SPARK), Co-directors of the Modern Slavery and Social Sustainability Research Group, will be Co-chairing the Conference.
Registration is now open for the Conference – please register here - and will close on 30 June 2025. The team look forward to seeing you there.
The Business and Modern Slavery Conference is separate to the Anti-Slavery Wales 2025 conference, which is taking place on 16 October in North Wales and online.
