As the landscape of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) continues to shift, we find ourselves at a crossroads. With increasing resistance, funding cuts, and political backpedaling, what does the future of DEI in workplaces and society look like? How do we move forward strategically while staying true to the principles of equity and justice?

Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking session on Navigating the Shifting Tides—What’s Next?, where we will explore:

• Understanding the global shifts impacting DEI in workplaces and beyond
• Strategies for sustaining equity work amidst political and corporate resistance
• Navigating the tension between moral integrity and financial realities
• How we organize and communicate effectively in this climate

Our speakers, Jeff Kwasi Klein & Chisom Udeze will explore the complexities of the current climate, the evolving language of DEI, and practical strategies for resilience, adaptation, and collective action. This conversation will not shy away from the hard truths—it will be a space to grapple with the challenges, reflect on what’s at stake, and chart a path forward.

In today’s evolving workplace, five generations are working side by side—each shaped by different historical, social, and technological contexts. While generational diversity can be a source of innovation and strength, it can also lead to misunderstandings, biases, microaggressions and communication gaps that hinder collaboration.

Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking session on Bridging the Generational Gap, where we will explore:

Intergenerational Dynamics: How different generations perceive work, leadership, and inclusion—and how these perspectives shape workplace culture.
🔹 Challenging Assumptions: The pitfalls of generational labeling and how to foster dialogue that respects lived experiences rather than reinforcing biases.
🔹 Bridging the Divide: Practical strategies for building workplaces where knowledge-sharing, mentorship, and psychological safety allow individuals across generations to thrive.
🔹 The Future of Work: How organizations can create inclusive policies and cultures that respond to shifting generational expectations, from career development to flexibility and purpose-driven work.

Join us for this discussion featuring Chisom Udeze, Charlie Fonda and Sarah Campbell.
