LET’S CROSS THE BRIDGE TOWARD A MORE EQUITABLE AND INCLUSIVE WORKPLACE
How to be an ally: Virtual Summit
The Premier DEI Summit | Live & Online:
MARCH 1-3, 2023
Becoming a supportive ally for equity in the workplace is challenging.
THE HOW TO BE AN ALLY VIRTUAL SUMMIT RISES TO THE MOMENT.
For three days, we’re creating a safe space where passionate leaders can expand their knowledge, learn action-oriented techniques and create a community that will prepare them for creating more impactful DEI engagement.
Even the most well-intentioned leaders can find themselves struggling to find the right path forward in their quest for real allyship.
But what if there was a supportive and positive space to unpack issues surrounding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion?
Well, there is.
Learn a healthy, positive framework for talking about and taking action on racial equity in the workplace.
Move toward more intentional DEI by building a strong foundation shored up with knowledge and practices for having uncomfortable conversations and taking inclusive action.

Have questions you may have about the How to be An Ally virtual summit?
1. When is the summit?
The next How to be An Ally virtual summit will be held March 1-3, 2023 (Wednesday-Friday). This summit is totally online, starts at 10 AM CST, runs until 6 PM CST on Wednesday and Thursday, and concludes at 2:45 PM on Friday afternoon.
2. Will you send the recordings afterward?
Select the VIP option at checkout to gain access to the session recordings. However, to get the most value out of the summit, we recommend participating as much as possible during the live sessions.
3. Who is the summit for?
This summit is for people who are ready to take a deeper dive into their leadership practice. The work is thorough and will require time for participants to experience the change! Three days is a lot of time, but it is all content that people can apply right away. It's a proper conference experience, not just a webinar. And think of it this way: this is three decades of knowledge being condensed into three days!
4. I want to do more than attend — where can I find PARTNERSHIP information?
Let’s chat! Please contact us for more information on our partnership opportunities.
5. I’m already socially conscious — why do I need to attend?
Whether you're new to the racial justice conversation or you've been aware of these issues for a long time, we can always expand our knowledge and toolset to be better and more intentional activists. Everyone has subconscious biases. Without recognizing and accepting them, we can’t work toward changing them. It’s not enough for us to be “not racist” at a conscious or cognitive level — we have to become actively anti-racist if we’re going to achieve equality.
6. What do I need to participate in the summit?
You will need to create a Zoom account or use a current one before the event.
7. How can I prepare for the summit?
Once you register, we'll send you some resources you can review before the summit starts.
