    Event Description:
    The 2020 Diversity Summit goes beyond a simple understanding of what diversity means and why it matters with its theme "Leadership that Transcends: Diversity, Unity and Shared Prosperity". The event will drill down on specific actionable topics, including the impact and importance of leadership when it comes to:
    • Managing and growing a business with diversity, inclusion and equity as core values.
    • Developing, attracting and retaining talent and workforce development.
    • Creating spaces and opportunities for diversity, inclusion and equity in communities and workplaces and spaces that are intentional in creating and spreading opportunity for prosperity.
    The 2020 event will also spotlight changes in the wake of COVID-19 with discussions on post-pandemic organizational flexibility that will explore how office location and remote work affect diversity and inclusion.
