The event will be focusing on the technologies and new approaches taken in order to adopt diversity and inclusion at the workplace and how accessibility is making the case for the business. Also, it is a great opportunity for networking with professionals from industries that you all are well familiar with and have an interest in working for in the future. Although all speakers have one goal, the approach of each is different. Join us on the 4th of March for a power-packed line-up of speakers and panelists including Alan Kriss (CEO of Specialisterne), Adrian Laing (People Manager at CIBC), David Millar (IBM Security) and more.
