What Participants are Saying...

The Colloquia always impress and inspire me -- this one, in particular. Perhaps the moment in which we are living helped create additional focus, energy and drive but the past day and a half-spurred ideas, strategies and connections. I was really inspired and so appreciated being a part of it.

--Tara Giunta, Partner and Co-Chair of Global Diversity Council, Paul Hastings LLP

The Colloquium was insightful, realistic, inspirational, and motivational on the role DEI really plays in organizations. We need press and coverage of these great works.

-- Dr. Cindy Pace, VP, Global Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer, MetLife

You had a wonderful Colloquium. The talent in the room and data shared were phenomenal. I am looking forward to the Summit. Hopefully, by then, I will have interviewed some of the Colloquium participants for my book on inclusion.

-- Dr. Deborah Ashton, President, Planet Perspective

As I travel home tonight, I sincerely thank you for the invitation to attend the Colloquium. Being in the presence of and learning from the incredible leaders was a life-changing experience. Since the Colloquium, I have been awash in ideas to adapt my work because of the insights I encountered. Congratulations on a fantastic colloquium. It was an experience I won't soon forget.

-- Nicole Moses, Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging, J Crew

What an incredible event! I was honored to be included. Thank you again for having me congratulations on an enormously successful event.

What Participants are Saying...

As usual, the Colloquium was super informative. I always find the presentations and conversations valuable and thought provoking. I can't say the same of many DE&I conferences. DE&I seems to be turning into a vapid talking point and money-making endeavor for many organizations. I always leave your meetings inspired and motivated.

--Kellie Molin-Kenol, VP and Global Head of Diversity Equity and Inclusion, Endo International

I always get so much out of the dialogue and appreciate the opportunity to learn and to engage with such strong women.

-- Charmaine Brown, Director of Diversity and Inclusion, Fannie Mae

It was a great pleasure to participate in this year’s Colloquium on Global Diversity….It was an awesome event; I feel inspired and motivated every time. Thank you very much for all that you do to make a difference.

-- Paul Lachhu, Editor-in-Chief, Diversity Global Magazine

I enjoyed participating and networking with thought leaders and peers in my space!

-- Rita Mitjans, Chief Diversity and Corporate Responsibility Officer, ADP

Thank you again for an exceptional Colloquium with so many amazing leaders. I always appreciate how you curate a great set of topics and speakers and make these meetings well worth the time investment.

--Dr. Sally Saba, Chief Inclusion and Diversity Officer, Medtronic
