M.A.D. WORLD STANDS FOR MAKE A DIFFERENCE

In our “mad world”, where the workplace is evolving faster than ever before, the need to support employee health and wellbeing has never been more important. It not only makes sense on a human level – recognition is growing that supporting employees isn’t just a moral imperative – it’s a strategic one, with tangible benefits for both people and performance.

“Our mission: to ensure every employer – large, medium and small – has the insights, inspiration and contacts they need to make a difference to workplace culture, employee health and wellbeing”
Claire Farrow, Global Director of Content, Mad World & Make A Difference

Now in its eighth successful year, MAD World 2025 will feature fresh insights – both from leaders in established industries and from bold disruptors who are setting a new benchmark. From strategic insights to practical takeaways, sessions are carefully curated to help employers navigate uncertainty in an increasingly volatile world, support their people more effectively, and unlock their full potential—now and into the future.

Harnessing the power of business, the MAD World Summit convenes a range of commercial leaders: from C-suite to line managers and next-generation leadership teams; from SMEs to FTSE 100 companies.

Whether you’re just getting started, or you’re moving to the next level of implementation, MAD World Summit is the premier B2B event for 350+ delegates and visitors looking for cross-sector collaboration, inspiration and to find the right solutions for your organisation – now, and for the future.


MAD World – Objective

Our objective with the MAD World Summit is to shift the conversation about workplace culture, employee health and wellbeing up a gear. By focusing on fresh thinking, we will draw in those that have not yet been reached, as well as those that are looking for ways to build on and bolster their commitment.

What makes this event stand out?

It’s our focus on action, collaboration, prevention, and early intervention, plus our exhibition of solution providers and dedication to providing an innovative, engaging event format, that sets the MAD World Summit apart.

As well as being an acronym for Make A Difference, the event title MAD World Summit reflects the colloquial “mad world” saying, conveying a sense of turbulent change. It alludes to the challenges associated with the way in which mental illnesses have traditionally been perceived, while acknowledging next generation openness and sense of playfulness.

Other features that set the event apart include:

  • The inspiring content including:
    • Real life case studies from trailblazing companies to benchmark strategies against
    • Insight into strategies that are delivering tangible benefits
    • The opportunity to dive deeper into specific issues through roundtable discussions
    • An understanding of best practice and worst practice
    • Fresh perspectives from companies that are leading the way
    • Key trends, emerging practice and exciting ideas driving future innovation that will enable attendees to stay ahead of the curve and future proof their strategies
  • This is the only event that will bring all levels of management to the conversation
  • The opportunity to meet cutting edge solution providers
