It’s been six months since the wave of tech industry support for Black Lives Matter and pledges to do better. Has anything really changed?

Join Ciara Pressler, founder of Pregame, for a panel discussion on how companies and individual professionals can and should implement their values in business, including diversity & equity and beyond. What are the obstacles to implementing DE&I practices? When are values real versus just PR? What are the small things anyone can do to live their values at work?

Speakers Include:
Ciara Pressler, Moderator
Stephen Green, Creator of the Do More challenge
Marcus Carter, Social Equity Director, Cinder
Amanda Oborne, Executive Director, Oregon Entrepreneurs Network
