Every event is a temporary community, and all attendees should feel safe and comfortable. Are you creating events that are welcoming to all people? Does your audience reflect that? Does your company reflect your community? Our guest speaker, Steve Moore, Chair- International Live Events Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, will dive into implementing strategies at the most prominent places — assembling diverse speaker lineups and marketing materials — to the not-so-obvious like intentionally hiring racially diverse vendors and elevating marginalized voices within your company. We will also look at how to measure results and become an advocate within the industry.
To kick off the event, we will celebrate Asian American Pacific Islander Month with a fun and interactive trivia game.
The first 50 virtual attendees will be given access to visit the National Center for Civil and Human Rights at a later date.
