OVERVIEW:
Building on the 7 years of emphasis in the world of technology, this year's Summit will broaden and expand its scope of impact to include numerous Diversity and Inclusion leaders and influencers in various high-profile roles from various companies across the spectrum of corporate America, business industries and Community platforms. The event will also feature and acknowledge a wide array of companies who over the past year have made significant inroads and expansion in the areas of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Programming and Opportunities.
