The first day will take place at Southwest Airlines headquarters. The second two days will be online. The conference brings together local businesses, LGBT-owned and other certified businesses, members of corporate employee resource groups and corporate diversity and supplier diversity professionals.
Attendees will learn about current issues facing diverse businesses and communities, gain new skills and share best practices.
Although U.S. companies spend more than $8 million on DEI programs annually, 90 percent of them fail. That’s the topic of one of the workshops on the agenda.
