Key Takeaways:
Despite a heightened focus on DEI+B, particularly in the wake of the recent Black Lives Matter protests around the world, more talks around corporate social responsibility and an increase in underserved women founders in STEM/Tech industries, there still remains significant gaps between talk and action at many companies.
LinkedIn data shows that while 69% of talent professionals agree their organizations are committed to more diverse hiring, only 47% feel their hiring managers are held accountable for interviewing a diverse slate of candidates so this equates to prepared diverse talent not having access for equitable hiring practices, recruitment or advancement in the workplace.
In this session we’ll explore and dig into ways recruiters, managers and team leads can not only recruit qualified diverse talent but prepare the company culture for their arrival and advancement in leadership roles.
How do you power innovation through inclusion? Dr. Virnitia Dixon will share perspectives and future-leaning practices that can help organizations and individuals use inclusion to drive innovation.
She will challenge participants to move beyond traditional DE&I approaches and foster innovation through people-centered strategies. You will be encouraged to revolutionize your current way of thinking and ‘unlearn’ some concepts that hinder intellectual curiosity and creativity.
This session will catapult your DE&I thinking and ignite breakthrough innovations through the power of human connections. Dr. Dixon will share how a strategic investment in inclusion can be a differentiator in technology and create pathways for women.

Featuring trailblazing women in tech, you’ll hear the stories of highly successful women and their advice for breaking through invisible barriers to progress in the workplace. In this session, we’ll explore the barriers that prevent individuals from advancing in their careers, particularly women, and identify strategies for breaking down these barriers.
The Why: This panel discussion aims to explore the complexities of gender issues, and tech leadership, and provide insights into how we can create more equitable and just societies. By bringing together executives who champion women in tech, we hope to generate ideas and inspire action toward breaking the glass ceiling.
Key Takeaways:
A critical ingredient of high-performance in any organization is a culture of psychological safety. Belonging is essential to humans. In times of social unrest, anxiety, post-pandemic fear and overall life stress, it’s vital that organizations create a way to galvanize support and manage complex change to create a culture where every employee, regardless of their background, feels that they belong.
Because the need to belong is universal and fundamental, focusing on it has the power to draw in the entire workforce, even those who might feel excluded from — or threatened by — current DE&I directives.
Psychological safety at work doesn’t mean that everybody is nice to each other all the time. It means that people feel free to “”brainstorm out loud,”” voice half-finished thoughts, openly challenge the status quo, share feedback, and work through disagreements together — knowing that leaders value honesty, candor, and truth-telling, and that team members will have one another’s backs. It is an atmosphere in which people fearlessly engage, question, experiment, and deliver value rather than fearing, blaming, and spending time protecting themselves. In this workshop, you’ll develop skills for growing psychological safety in yourself, your teams, and your organization.
The Why: Organizations that focus on creating environments centered around promoting psychological safety see increased employee retention, improved productivity and performance, greater creativity and innovation and an elevated employee experience.
So, who is responsible for creating such safety? All of us! When we model and cultivate psychological safety, we enable greater transparency, closer relationships, improved collaboration, and better outcomes.

The demand for data is only increasing, bringing data analytics teams front and center with opportunities to help propel their business. In this session, we will discuss how to scale build diverse data teams, the key roles to hire for, how to drive data-enabled business growth, and what data analytics with cybersecurity looks like today and as the industry continues to evolve.
The Why: High-growth companies are becoming increasingly reliant on data and data analytics teams to analyze and inform their business. As this reliance on data grows, the demand for data experts skyrockets. With this in mind, it is crucial that organizations are able to optimize for strategic hires with diverse perspectives.
Key Takeaways:
This session is for… you if you are interested in the future of data analytics and how to hire a well-rounded, diverse data team.
