Thank you for your interest in P2F! We developed this conference for professionals and community members to increase their practical knowledge of critically important diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) topics and issues. Through keynote presentations, small group sessions, and panel discussions, P2F participants will:
-
Learn about the changing demographics of the world we live and work in.
-
Explore their own biases, values, and culture.
-
Understand the importance and the basics of strategic and intentional DEI planning.
-
Engage in discussions about various DEI topics including DEI 101, working through cultural disconnects, and DEI strategic planning.
