BRIDGE 2023: Build an Inclusive Workplace, Workforce and Marketplace | April 23-25, 2023 | West Coast

Pioneering DEI
Next Practices

April 23 - 25, 2023 | West Coast

BRIDGE Color Stripe

Companies have a mission-critical imperative to commit more fully to all aspects of DEI as integral to a brand’s ethos and a company’s bottom line. Admittedly, committing to DEI and getting it right are two very different constructs – complicated but achievable.

And essential in today's purpose-driven marketplace where consumers simply expect more social responsibility from brands who want their consumer’s loyalty and dollars.

Launching for the first time in 2023, the annual BRIDGE executive 2 ½ day retreat is curated specifically for Chief Diversity Officers, CMOs, CEOs and other business leaders. Focused on the development of next practices, that DEI is a journey not an end goal, BRIDGE 2023 attendees will workshop against pioneering research and rich content to achieve the right breakthrough ideas and innovations that support DEI as a long-term business growth driver. We will discuss how and why it is critical for companies to consistently convene teams and talent reflective of society and explore over 72 business practices across 5 dimensions including organizational, marketing management, commercial, communication, and activism.

Interactive and actionable in nature BRIDGE 2023 is also a place for rising stars and advocates to lend their voices as we define the future of DEI for the new generation who believes it’s important for companies to make the world a better place through systemic change.

No matter where you are on the DEI journey maturity curve, you will leave with an action plan on how to build an Inclusive Workplace, Workforce and Marketplace.
