Think/Action Tank

11:00am - 4:00pm

Inclusion Driven Education & Workforce Innovation

Diversity and inclusion is the greatest activator of social innovation.


How can we ensure that current and future generations of diverse students, employees and entrepreneurs gain access to equal opportunity, learning opportunities and the professional development necessary to produce our country’s next generation workforce?


How can we nurture the next wave of disruptive problem solvers, within the technology industry, and more broadly in every corner of society, that is essential to our nation’s continued competitiveness?


How can we identify best-in-class solutions and effectively scale them?


We convene to answer, address and progress these and other important issues.
