As the landscape of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) continues to shift, we find ourselves at a crossroads. With increasing resistance, funding cuts, and political backpedaling, what does the future of DEI in workplaces and society look like? How do we move forward strategically while staying true to the principles of equity and justice?

Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking session on Navigating the Shifting Tides—What’s Next?, where we will explore:

• Understanding the global shifts impacting DEI in workplaces and beyond
• Strategies for sustaining equity work amidst political and corporate resistance
• Navigating the tension between moral integrity and financial realities
• How we organize and communicate effectively in this climate

Our speakers, Jeff Kwasi Klein & Chisom Udeze will explore the complexities of the current climate, the evolving language of DEI, and practical strategies for resilience, adaptation, and collective action. This conversation will not shy away from the hard truths—it will be a space to grapple with the challenges, reflect on what’s at stake, and chart a path forward.
