The theme for IDN’s 2026 Pay Gap Conference is: What. Why. How.
Early Bird Tickets are still available!
The Pay Gap Conference is a gathering of professionals, leaders, and changemakers from the nuclear industry and beyond. It’s a platform dedicated to understanding, addressing, and closing pay disparities through data, dialogue, and actionable insights.
At Inclusion and Diversity in Nuclear, we’ve conducted research and produced the first-of-its-kind UK Nuclear Industry Gender Pay Gap Report (2017–2025). The findings from this analysis revealed a clear need for collective action, this conference is our response.
Equity Drives Excellence: Fair pay attracts and retains top talent, crucial for closing the nuclear skills gap.
Compliance Builds Trust: Regulatory and public expectations demand transparency and accountability.
Inclusion Fuels Innovation: Diverse, equitable teams can perform better. Closing the pay gap is a step toward a more inclusive and innovative workforce.
