Shining Bright 2026

The Fire Station, Sunderland

June 2026

We were delighted to support the North East Mayoral Strategic Authority with the delivery of Shining Bright, hosted by Shine in partnership with Ward Hadaway. Bringing together employers, HR professionals, and business leaders, the event explored how organisations can build stronger, more inclusive workplaces that help people and businesses thrive.

The programme featured an inspiring line-up of keynote speakers, panel discussions and real-life case studies covering topics including wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, social value, and investing in people. With opportunities for networking and collaboration throughout the day, delegates left with practical insights to help shape the future of their organisations.

Working closely with the North East Mayoral Strategic Authority, BeaconHouse Events were proud to help with event planning, speaker coordination, exhibition management and on the day event delivery, ensuring the conference ran seamlessly from start to finish.
