Details
Where most diversity dinners have speakers informing us yet again about what isn’t working, the #TechDiversity dinner is showcasing what is working and the wonderful people who are behind the initiatives and driving change.
We want to celebrate and elevate those diversity initiatives that are making a difference.
#TechDiversity has sought nominations for diversity leadership across education, business, government and/or advertising looking at diversity initiatives, behaviours, commitment and courage.
On the night, the leaders in each of these categories will be recognised and the #TechDiversity Champion announced, providing the opportunity to celebrate the good.
This is a time to celebrate and learn with like-minded individuals who care about supporting diversity from a positive perspective.
But you can’t do that if you aren’t in the room on the night so buy a ticket – while you are at it, buy one for a friend.Actually, buy an entire table for your company and bring your colleagues.
