Diversity + Inclusion in Tech Summit
#DiversityInclusionNC
Diversity is critical to the success of any workplace. It provides a wide range of viewpoints, experiences and perspectives and improves the bottom line. For NC TECH and its member organizations, it is not just what we do, but who we are.
This one-day summit will explore DEI through a different lens to see what is possible when organizations harness the power of a diverse workplace. Regardless of where you or your company is on the DE+I journey, this event is a must attend. Projected attendance is 300+.
