Clarion Events is excited to announce its partnership with 55/Redefined, a leading organisation dedicated to promoting age inclusivity in the workplace. This collaboration marks the beginning of Clarion's journey towards achieving Age Accreditation, underscoring our commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive environment, particularly for individuals over the age of 50.

Clarion is a global leader in the events industry, renowned for delivering high-quality exhibitions, conferences, and digital events across various sectors. With a focus on innovation and excellence, Clarion brings together industry professionals, thought leaders, and key stakeholders to create impactful and memorable experiences. Our core values of passion, care, imagination, and trust drive us to deliver exceptional events that inspire and connect people worldwide.

As an events business, Clarion recognises the invaluable contributions of over 50s workers who bring a wealth of experience, knowledge, and creativity to the industry. By partnering with 55/Redefined, Clarion is setting a new standard for inclusivity, ensuring that our workforce reflects the rich age diversity of our society.

Why age inclusivity matters to Clarion Events:

• The inclusion of multigenerational teams fosters a dynamic exchange of ideas, leading to innovative solutions and creative event experiences.
• Individuals over 50 possess significant expertise and insights that can drive the success of our events and enhance customer satisfaction.
• Age inclusivity is a key component of our broader diversity and inclusion strategy, helping us attract and retain top talent from various age groups.

“As strong advocates for diverse talent, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment where individuals from all backgrounds can thrive and contribute to our success. The challenges faced by older individuals in recruitment can be significant, and I believe organisations that overlook this group are missing a valuable opportunity.

By partnering with 55redefined, we are taking a significant step towards age inclusivity. This collaboration not only aligns with our core values but also enhances our ability to innovate and excel within the events industry. We look forward to the positive impact this partnership will bring to our team and community.”  Michelle Hutchinson - Clarion Events People Director, EMEA.
