The Business Design Centre
An open, welcoming breakfast bringing together a diverse mix of people from across the asset management community. This gathering is designed for anyone interested in better understanding inclusion, belonging, and how different lived experiences shape the way people experience work.
Rather than a formal or exclusive setting, this session creates space for open conversation, shared learning, and genuine connection. Whether this is something you think about every day or are just beginning to explore, you are welcome at the table.
With a relaxed, small-group atmosphere, the breakfast encourages honest dialogue, new perspectives, and meaningful exchanges between people who may not usually have the chance to connect.
* By signing up to the breakfast, you have full access to TSAM should you wish.
The Big Inclusion Breakfast
A Conversation Worth Having
Inclusion and belonging are no longer abstract ideas. They shape how people experience work every day — influencing confidence, opportunity, and the ability to contribute fully.
Yet many of these experiences remain unseen or misunderstood.
At this intimate breakfast gathering, Foxon Media brings together a small group of peers to listen, reflect, and engage with speakers whose perspectives are grounded in lived experience. Through honest conversation and shared insight, the session creates space to better understand how workplaces can become more thoughtful, supportive, and inclusive.
And what better setting than a shared breakfast table. Designed to feel welcoming, open, and human, this is not a formal conference session, but a chance to connect with others, hear different perspectives, and start meaningful conversations that continue beyond the room.
