Power of Diversity

Presented by Fabian De Rozario and Randy Griffin
Thursday, June 6
REGISTER NOW

Diversity isn’t isolated to multicultural groups. Event professionals who embrace diversity create events that reflect their audiences, and select speakers and programming that represent diverse genders, ages, cultures, and a range of experience and perspectives. Welcoming diversity strengthens your event’s position, can increase membership and attendance, and can influence the larger conversation on the subject. During this webinar, Fabian DeRozario and Randy Griffin present the planner and supplier perspectives on the power of diversity in meetings.

Participants will discuss:
- Importance of diversity for industry
- Selecting partners with common vision
- Incorporating diversity into planning
- Communication between planners and suppliers
