This year, Reed Smith is exploring the theme of "Standing Firm in Power and Pride" – a powerful tribute to the unwavering resilience, strength and commitment to progress within the Black community. This theme highlights the profound contributions made by Black leaders, activists or pioneers who have helped shape history, and actively contributed to a world where Black voices are heard, valued, and celebrated.

Join us at Ham Yard Hotel and meet Sir Trevor McDonald, a trailblazer in British journalism as one of the first Black news anchors in the UK, and a leading figure in documentary and current affairs programming. Sir Trevor McDonald is an icon and his presence promises to inspire our celebration of power and pride.
