Join us for another exciting hybrid event in South Florida!

In today's fast-paced world, innovation is key to success. But true innovation cannot be achieved through a homogeneous workforce. To truly break new ground, you need a team that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive.

At its core, diversity means having a workforce that is representative of different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. Equity means creating a fair and just environment where everyone has access to the same opportunities and resources. And belonging means creating a culture where every team member feels valued, respected, and included.

Join Rosanna Durruthy, LinkedIn’s global head of Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DIBs) for a fireside chat about creating cultures that propel innovation forward in times of uncertainty and doubt.
