Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: Moving beyond the WHY, this is HOW

Join us for the insightful event “Tech Talent & Diversity in Tech”, presented by the Swedish Chamber of Commerce and KPMG Meijburg & CO on May 23, 2024. This event is a special combination of our renowned Swedish Chamber Tech Tables and Diversity & Inclusion Breakfast series.

 

Keynote Speaker: Ingrid Tappin

Founder and CEO of Diverse Leaders in Tech

“I believe that every individual has a part to play in shaping the future. Whether it’s in the workplace or in society at large, we all have a responsibility and a right to use our talents for good. It’s not enough to simply recognise the need for change; we must also take action to make it happen.”

Doing DEI right is crucial for…

…Attracting and retaining the best talent

…Leading high-performing teams

…Creativity, innovation and problem solving

…Scaling products to new markets

…Complying to new ESG regulations

…Developing responsible technology like AI

And so much more!

 

But DEI is not easy. Let’s be honest, DEI is hard work and comes with more complexity than most business capabilities do. And it is with that business lens, that Ingrid Tappin will shed light on how leaders can deal with these complexities and will offer a framework that can help companies amplify their DEI efforts and reap the benefits.
