Reframing the DEI Debate

Mar 7, 2025

2:30pm – 3:30pm CT

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts have been on a wild ride, skyrocketing in 2020 with record investments and attention, only to face budget cuts and politicization recently. Companies are responding in different ways: some are scaling back, others are integrating DEI into broader business functions, while some are doubling down on their commitments. This panel will explore the DEI debate and how corporate employers are responding.
