Why Attend?
Strengthening Equity, Diversity and Inclusion starts with a clear strategy and ends with its application. Movements worldwide have pushed employers to look more closely at Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) because companies committed to EDI programs reflect that responsibility in their practices.
