Here is what people said about last year’s conference:

“I enjoyed the variety of speakers and their different approaches to their presentations. The keynote was more academic and that set a good tone for the day, the others were more practical and gave some nice “hands on” tips for working with diversity that I really appreciated…excellent choice in speakers and brilliant job in the order of the day.”

“I do not exaggerate when I say that this has been by far one of the most interesting and informative conferences I have attended.”

“Very well organized, interesting topics, very inspiring keynote speaker, everyone in attendance was positive and open minded”
