Diversity and Inclusion Delegate Place Scheme for Conferences and Seminars
INSOL International prides itself on being globally accessible, providing benefits to members around the world regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, age, or socioeconomic background.
We are therefore proud to continue the Diversity and Inclusion Delegate Place Scheme for INSOL Sydney 2027. This scheme offers delegate places for professionals who might otherwise miss out on conference attendance at a pivotal moment in their career. Successful applicants will receive a delegate ticket and a meaningful contribution towards their travel and accommodation.
Conferences
Application
Applications are currently closed for this scheme.
The Scheme is primarily aimed at anyone from an underrepresented group that feels they would benefit from conference attendance.
Further information about when applications will open will be published here in due course.
Selection
The Bursary Review Panel will review all applications and use the standard definitions of protected characteristics as a starting point for their deliberation. However, we understand that diversity comes in many forms and will interpret in the widest sense possible. All committee members will sign a confidentiality agreement to protect the anonymity of applicants.
The selection process does not seek to make any value judgements about the relative worth of different types of diversity – we simply want to ensure that the INSOL Sydney 2027 Conference delegation is representative of the diverse global community working in restructuring. On that basis – no negotiation or discussion of applications will be entered into. The committee’s decisions will be final and confidential.
Awards
Successful applicants will receive a delegate ticket and a meaningful contribution towards their travel and accommodation.
The D & I places at INSOL's annual conference are kindly sponsored by the following firms:
Logos for Grant Thornton, KPMG, Latham & Watkins, Mourant, and South Square to be included here.
Seminars
Application
The scheme is primarily intended for individuals from underrepresented groups who believe they would significantly benefit from attending the seminar.
Applicants are invited to submit and application form which will include two concise paragraphs outlining:
- Why they believe they are a strong candidate for a Diversity & Inclusion Delegate Place for the relevant seminar; and
- How attendance would support their professional and personal development.
Selection
All applications will be reviewed by the Bursary Review Panel. In its deliberations, the committee will use recognised definitions of protected characteristics as a starting point, while acknowledging that diversity takes many forms and should be interpreted in the broadest and most inclusive sense.
Awards
Successful applicants will receive a full delegate ticket to the relevant event.
