Main Stage Keynote: Intersectionality & Events: What Your Audience Needs to Belong & Thrive

Wednesday, June 8
11:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Central Standard Time (CST).

Building inclusive events and workplaces isn’t a “one size fits all” strategy. So, how can you truly welcome everyone—and invite all voices to the table? In this fireside chat DEI Truth Teller and workplace changemaker Madison Butler will reveal what it means to create welcoming, psychologically safe spaces by breaking down intersectionality in all its forms—and showing you ways to better understand, answer, and celebrate the unique individuals who attend your meetings and experiences. Learn how you can effectively determine what your attendees and colleagues need to thrive–and walk away with empowering advice for how you can also show up as and care for yourself in the process.
