Breakfast Briefing series

The Executive Education Breakfast Briefing series is one way we engage with the local business community and wider society.

The series offers business practitioners, policy makers, media, and other stakeholders the opportunity to hear our latest research from across various business and management themes. Our diverse and inspiring speakers represent the world of academia and business practice. They bring new insights and perspectives to challenge your current thinking and stimulate debate.

Inclusive breakfast briefings

Cardiff Business School started to broadcast its Breakfast Briefings online before the pandemic, so as to be accessible to people with caring responsibilities. This enabled both a wider, and more diverse, range of speakers and participants.

Our briefings have always aimed to bring the business community together. Today, they run in a fully hybrid format, giving local attendees the chance to join us in person while also making it easy for others to take part remotely.

This evolution has made our briefings more inclusive and popular than ever. If you’ve missed any sessions or would like to revisit what was discussed, please see our 'Previous breakfast briefing' section below.
