Lunch & Lead:
Pre-Event Webinar
Before the main stage at Lead26, we’re opening the conversation early. Lunch & Lead will feature two free, 45-minute online sessions where you can connect with our speakers, explore urgent leadership topics, and join discussions that shape the future of work. Each session combines short insights, an expert panel, and live Q&A, designed to generate new ideas and give you a taste of the conversations waiting at Lead26.
Whether you’re curious about governing the machines in a digital workforce or want to discover what’s next in AI, transformation, and leadership, Lunch & Lead is your chance to engage, question, and learn alongside peers and experts.
Save your seat for one or both sessions below and be part of the dialogue that sets the tone for Lead26.
Leadership and culture for 26’
What does leadership look like when change never stops? And how do you build a culture that actually holds up under pressure?

We’ll explore these questions with:

In just 45 minutes, you’ll hear what’s working inside leading organisations, where leaders still stumble, and why culture is often the make-or-break factor for transformation. Bring your questions, join the debate, and see how these insights connect back to your own challenges.
