Join us for a thought-provoking session that flips the script on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Hear from Adrianne C. Smith, Founder of the Cannes Can: Diversity Collective and Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer at FleishmanHillard, as she debunks the myth that DEI efforts are obsolete and delves into why they're more vital than ever. This session will embark on a global journey through DEI's roots, tracing back to the Civil Rights Movement. It will uncover its transformative power in addressing racial wealth disparities and leveling the playing field for marginalized communities. DEI isn't about handouts; it's about rectifying historical injustices and building a fairer future. Prepare to broaden your horizons and see DEI in a whole new light.
