The New Face of DEI: How We Build Corporate Community is SVLG’s 4th Inclusion and Belonging summit focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion. We’re excited to announce that this event will take place at SAP in San Francisco on Thursday, May 30!

This year’s event builds on last year’s summit – Moment to Momentum – and will dive into how the DEI landscape is changing under national headwinds. We will examine and highlight the continuing transformation of the DEI landscape and how national and regional leaders from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors are working to create environments that are representative, fair, and inclusive. Our program will explore a look into philanthropic engagement, building pathways to sustainable tech careers, and the status of DEI programs in Silicon Valley.

"Diversity gets people in the door, but inclusion keeps them in the room."

Joe Hurd, Operating Partner at SOSV

"The only individual who can really drive a culture of inclusion and drive processes that are equitable is the CEO."

Mei Lin Wolff, Chief People Officer at Webcor
