HDI is bringing leaders together from across the industry to define, discuss, and debate the role of diversity, equity, and inclusion in IT broadly and technical support specifically. DEI is more than just championing women or minorities in the workplace, but a failure to truly understand what it means and what it can do has led to a decline in investment in DEI initiatives heading into 2023, according to recent research from Glassdoor.

Led by four leaders from the higher education, financial services, and hospitality industries, join your peers for a panel discussion on:

  • Defining DEI – what it is and what it isn’t
  • Identifying trends, priorities, and challenges in DEI
  • Sharing experiences, challenges, and solutions to common problems associated with DEI


* All session attendees should be prepared to participate in open, transparent conversation about a range of topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
