ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Why we are here

The history of DEI is rich with key figures, key moments, and an ever evolving storyline. Also, well documented and often discussed is how we got here. We have heard the stories, read the news clips, and discussed the events of the past 3 years that has sparked what many calling the “Draft” of DEI experts across the globe. The ‘New age of DEI’ conference will take a different approach to a well known story. We are bringing together a fantastic group of experts from varied backgrounds who each have a unique perspective on DEI. Couple that with a forward and outside the box thinking, you have ‘New Age DEI’!   

Attendees will walk away with a broader perspective on DEI as it pertains to corporate culture, social justice, neurodiversity, mental health, or technology. The will also gain insights on where the DEI we know is heading and what it will take to get us there.
