This is a thought-provoking industry launch addressing the rising tide of ageism in public relations. Women in PR UK presents new research showing that the age at which women first experience age discrimination has dropped dramatically—from 45 to 40 in just two years, with signs it is falling further still.
The event examines how ageism manifests through coded language in job adverts, subjective recruitment criteria, and algorithmic hiring systems. Headlined by Stacey Duguid with a special address from Jamie Klingler, the programme brings together industry leaders, recruiters and campaigners for candid discussions about practical solutions.
On the night:
- New industry insights from three listening labs in partnership with Break The Silence on how ageism operates and who it affects most
- The No Right Age playbook—actionable steps to eliminate bias in recruitment, career progression and staff retention
- A direct challenge to employers on removing discriminatory language from job specs and ensuring human oversight of AI hiring tools
Food, drinks and networking are included. Limited to 100 places.
