Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Summit

As Georgia continues to become more diverse, our state’s leaders must seek to understand, engage in, and accept the responsibility to work towards an inclusive environment. Join business professionals from all over the state as we hear from speakers and panelists on topics ranging from shifting cultures in the workplace to the success and failures of diversity and inclusion experts. Together, we can spark meaningful conversations and gain a better understanding of cultures, perspectives, and experiences.
