Deep-Dive Track: Allyship
Keynote: The Distinct Dialect of Diaspora or Normalizing Novelty in the Nebulous
The solutions for the wicked problems of our times can be found in the nuance of the third space experienced by members of any diaspora. Diaspora posesses a perspective that considers multiple realities with a polyvalence that is unique to their individual experience. In combining many worlds, they exist in a continuum of opportunity that is fraught with ingenuity and mindful of the expansiveness of that which is untapped. Diasporas give us a blueprint for a transdisciplinary approach to innovation.

A Panel Discussion on ROI, Impact, and Transparency
At least on the surface, DE&I is at the forefront of the conversation at every major company. Organizations have made a commitment to putting more time and resources toward diversity and inclusion efforts, but have these increased resources driven systematic change? Has broader awareness of issues like unconscious bias, accessibility, cognitive diversity, and gender sensitivities helped build sustainable D&I strategies?
