Every year, the Forum RIDM programme champions the importance of a more inclusive industry that is open to all. In the spirit of making the industry a welcoming place, what if we first took the time to get to know the people behind the positions and titles?
In this informal conversation, leading industry figures share their journeys, their outlook on the world and the experiences that shaped their career paths. To kick off the 22nd edition of Forum RIDM, we invite you to take a moment to meet the people who shape our industry today.
This discussion will be held in English. Live translations via AI will be available for this activity.
Exclusively for Forum accreditation and passport holders.
