Join us during Gender Equality Week to learn how local companies are overcoming their blind spots and are championing equality and diversity by adapting the practices and procedures used to identify, develop, and promote talent. This forum is intended for leaders at all levels who are working to create more equitable and inclusive workplaces. There will be opportunities to engage, gather inspiration, and build a more equal world.
Following this Forum, all attendees will receive a complimentary Event Summary Report and Best Practices Guide, which will include learning from the Forum as well as additional resources.
