Program Infused with the BID Talks

The uniqueness of this conference it brings business leaders together in a format that allows them to exchange ideas on how inclusive diversity is a part of the business function. This conference provides the forum to introduce new ways of thinking and bridge gaps that exists between business, inclusion and diversity.

A panel at the DMBA conference

Diversity MBA introduced the BID TALKS- Business with Inclusive Diversity Talks, last year (2018). We changed the format and platform of how information is delivered at the conference. Our intent is to bring issues forward without power points and engage the attendees to participate in solution- oriented thinking. We are boldly suggesting that when we bring groups together; we want them to step out of their comfort zone; and not just hear the message, but to understand the issue and be able to collaborate and communicate to achieve solutions.  We encourage conflict and disagreement, because we know tension leveraged along with creative energy, drives innovation.

Program Structure: Open Platform for Engagement

We are blending the business conversation with the inclusive diversity imperative at our industry round-table hot topics.  Both business leaders and diversity practitioners are bringing the conversations forward challenging new perspectives to drive change.
