"Ratchet up your understanding of the power of inclusion and take away skills and tactics to employ now to make your organizations better and more inclusive."
"Diversity and inclusion go beyond the traditional realm of HR, they fall within organizations' core objectives," said Clay Osborne, WDN Chairman and President of True Insights Consulting. Real-life examples, case studies and tools presented from some of the most highly regarded professionals in the nation, will inspire people with their passion and their knowledge."
The more than 20 sessions and keynotes will focus on how to engage people more effectively for improved organizational outcomes and to ultimately provide better services and products.
Keynotes include the global insight of Laraine Kaminsky of Canada, generational studies expertise of Robert Wendover, Cathy Bao Bean's advice on using humor to bridge cultures and the plain talk of Joe Gerstandt.
A Senior Leadership Panel will focus on lessons learned while establishing and sustaining a diversity and inclusion initiative.
