The DEIA Forum, which took place at the Beverly Hilton on November 10, brought together the best and brightest among California’s diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility experts. The event, which featured three engaging discussions about the state of DEIA in the modern workplace, also gave participants the opportunity to connect, converse and learn from each other’s experience. The ability to be open and honest about progress towards a more equitable future was tantamount to the DEIA Forum experience, and participants took a shared sense of optimism away from the experience.
