The CDO Summit

Today, organizations face a new world context of relentless, rapid and often disruptive change. Regardless of what unfolds, organizations must continue to thrive and be successful. At the heart of this daunting task is the evolving and increasingly complex role of a Chief Diversity Officer (CDO). A role essential to a company’s operations, everyday workforce strategy, concerns, challenges and opportunities for innovation.  

The CDO Summit is intended to be a space for meaningful learning, connection, reflection and wellness. By bringing together our CDOs from around the country for two-and-a-half-days, the Summit creates a growth environment where ideas filled with knowledge-sharing of best and next practices in DE&I can thrive.
