28 - 29 June, 2011

Diversity & Inclusion is, more than ever, a critical driver for sustainable business success. Challenges and opportunities to manage any or all of the following dimensions requires constant vigilance and competent leadership and management: globalization, shifting demographics; emerging majorities; LGBTQA concerns; economic challenges; generational differences; religious and spiritual impact; gender gaps; supplier diversity; and race, privilege, and class issues. The annual Corporate Diversity & Inclusion Conference will bring together leaders for a unique event to focus on peer learning, networking, and sharing of best practices; models that work; metrics that measure what matters; and strategies that enable sustainable progress.

Benefits of attending

• Compare and contrast strategies and practices for successful change and effective talent management
• Examine approaches to integrating diversity & inclusion into the entire organization’s processes, systems, and performance management
• Delve into increasingly complex domains of diversity & inclusion for strategic planning among senior diversity leaders across industries
• Assess current progress with your own vision and strategy

Who should attend

Corporate Chief Diversity Officers, Diversity practitioners from Academia, Government, Military, Non-profits; Legal Professionals, Compliance Officers, Business Line Leaders, Education Leaders, Human Resources and Talent Management Vice Presidents, Directors & Administrators
