Securing the D&I Future:
Evolving Strategies, Meaningful Outcomes

March 17 - 18, 2010
Minneapolis Convention Center, Minneapolis, MN

About the Conference

In 2009, members of more than 400 organizations across the U.S. took part in the Multicultural Forum on Workplace Diversity.  They chose the Forum because it provides a venue for discussion about diversity and inclusion in the workplace.  In keynote sessions and workshops, you won't hear a sales pitch.  Instead, you'll hear from peers  about their successes and challenges.  As a Forum participant, you won't just listen to definitions of diversity, you will develop tools to bring back to the office, learn from best practices and have the opportunity to be challenged to think in a new way.
