The intention of this virtual gathering is to cultivate, develop, & perpetuate the DEI conversation, learnings, & application within the chapter, and broader membership towards the more inclusive meetings & events profession at large.

This forum is designed to encourage active learning through discussion/ questions/ dialogue in community as opposed to passive or solo consumption of resources.

Prior to the session, participants will be asked to watch a short video which will be discussed as a group during the event. The conversation will be led by the DE&I committee volunteers.

In this session we will discuss: 

• Hidden power dynamics and how this plays out in our meetings & events.
• Uncovering the unseen 
• Why people disengage (at your events)
• What to do as an ally
