International Men’s Day Speakers
International Men’s Day draws attention to the “positive value men bring to the world, their families and communities”. In the face of harmful stereotypes, the day recognises the need for better mental health support and paternal rights for men across the world, as well as unifying men in the fight for gender equality.
As only 36% of referrals to NHS talking therapies are for men, International Men’s Day is an opportunity for organisations to promote the importance of mental health among their male employees. IMD speakers explore the damaging effects of toxic masculinity to empower male audiences.
By booking an International Men’s Day Speaker, you are sending a clear message of support to your male staff, especially those often marginalised by their sexuality or race.

International Men’s Day, which takes place on Tuesday 19th of November 2024, is defined by the six pillars of male empowerment and equality. Including promoting male role models and focusing on male mental health, the day highlights the social discrimination men face daily. To improve gender equality across the board, International Men’s Day events are a staple of the business calendar.
Male attendees come away from an IMD celebration with a new perspective on mental health and gender roles. This leads to better team cohesion and innovation in the workplace, as staff are not limited by societal expectations.
