Bridging the Diversity and Inclusion Gap in Tech

Disruptive forces are shaping the future of the technology industry every day. Many organizations from corporate to start-up are reimagining how they do business and re-evaluating the talent needed for their business to thrive in this ever-changing environment. Diversity, equity and inclusion is now looked at by many as a competitive advantage. And those with little to no DE&I focus will soon be left behind.

Organizations in cities like Atlanta with booming technology markets and diverse populations are strengthening their diversity stack by building partnerships at multiple levels: University, Non-Profit, Professional Organizations and Cross-Industry. Which allows them to leverage the advantages of diversity which include increased creativity, higher innovation, better company reputation and increased profits.

Join us as our panelists share ways that Atlanta is bridging the gap and advancing the technology industry.

Agility and reimagined product and service offerings in the face of Covid-19

The year-2020 was unusual to put it mildly. We faced personal, business and global challenges. But the Covid-19 pandemic also advanced the pace of change as companies leaned into technology and reimagined established ways of operating—transforming business processes, working environments, and customer experiences. The ideas born of the present crisis will have a lasting effect on end markets.

Join us as we discuss how companies operating in travel, retail, and quick-service dining became more agile and blazed new trails.
