I asked to go to the 3% conference this year. I found out this week my company is going around “quietly” telling people who get to go but won’t respond to my request. It’s ok if I can’t go but at leas

Cont. least have the decency to just tell me no. The lack of transparency is maddening. Just wanted to vent.

If you don’t get selected ask the agency to pay to stream it. More people can partake and watch talks. Much more worth it

The reality is that the conference is pretty expensive so the idea of sending “everyone” as mentioned above isn’t very feasible. I got to go by writing up why I personally should go (based on the accounts I was on and my involvement in diversity & inclusion) at the agency. Then I pulled travel costs. I think it’s super lame you aren’t getting an answer but I’d recommend making it very very hard for them to say no next year, and put it in writing.

Ffs. So sorry they’re doing that. Hope they learn from the conference that it’s important to send EVERYONE and not foster a culture of exclusivity
