I'm looking to drag my ERG leads to a conference this year to learn more about DEI. What conferences out there are worthwhile places to learn and network and not just money grabs?

This may be of value with some D&I topics - virtual and free. Also, ADP and Microsoft offer free virtual conferences during the year. ADP’s was exceptionally good last year.

What industry are you in? Sometimes there’s organizations for diverse professionals from xyz underrepresented groups in that industry that hold conferences.

I can’t think of any conferences that are relevant to ERG leaders (instead of DEI professionals), but you could always look at different DEI oriented vendors to do like a workshop with your leaders on allyship, leadership, etc..

I thought I'd share one that a connection at another company suggested: SHRM Inclusion 2023 in Savanah

Almost certainly will go to this one myself, but still looking for other options to check out.

Wish I had budget for this 😭😭

Maybe a virtual one at least? No travel costs

The Forum on Workplace Inclusion through Augsburg University in Minneapolis! It’s at the end of March this year, and there are a wide variety of offerings for anyone from DEI professionals wanting to go deep to those who are new to DEI and wanting to build understanding and skills.

Definitely took the wrong job. I was offered a seriously competitive salary and great benefits to work at a well funded startup, which is great! Turns out the salary and benefits were meant as lowkey bribes to insure I worked at the company without actually doing any work. Every single suggestion I've made has been shut down and I've been ghosted for several meetings with the CEO. What should I do? Just leave?

I'm in desperate need of tips to get genuine buy in from our predominantly white, male senior leadership to create a more inclusive environment. As is often the case, middle management and below is very diverse and then at Director+ it gets much more homogeneous. So far any real initiatives get shot down in favor of performative actions to post on SM. Is this just how it is, or can we try something different?
