Registration:  4:45 – 5:00 pm | Program: 5:00 - 6:00 pm | Networking Social: 6:00 - 7:00 pm

DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) is about creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, and has an equal opportunity to succeed. In today's increasingly global and interconnected world, DEI is essential for building bridges and understanding between different cultures. When organizations commit to DEI, they signal that they are open to new ideas and perspectives, sending a powerful message to employees, customers, and business partners that they are valued members of the community.  But how exactly do you go about advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace? 

In this session we will: 

• Explore the case for inclusion and why it’s critical to achieving diversity at all levels of an organization
• Discuss challenges to inclusion in the workplace, including systemic racism, unconscious bias, and covering
• Provide strategies for advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion.
