D CEO Presents

Diversity, Inclusion, and Impact Symposium

2020

The D CEO second annual Diversity, Inclusion, and Impact Symposium will be held virtually this year on September 17. Featuring key executives and thought leaders, we’ll dive into the pressing topics and conversations that are happening in board rooms across our country, addressing systemic racism, diversity, inclusion, and belonging in the workplace. Building on the success of last year’s program–and the current urgency and dialogue around racial inequality–you will not want to miss this full day of programming, networking, and candid conversations.

Symposium topics range from “Getting Comfortable with Uncomfortable Conversations” to “Data and Transparency: Setting Goals and Measuring Results,” with opportunities to network and connect in between. There will also be special breakout conversations on marketing your values and what racial equity truly means.  Join us, and be part of a more inclusive and equitable future for all.
