Cleveland was excited to launch their inaugural Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Conference, a groundbreaking event which aimed to foster meaningful discussions, share best practices, and drive actionable strategies to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion in all sectors. Within two weeks of announcing this event, in-person tickets sold out, which would fill a room of 165, and a virtual ticket option was offered. 

 

This landmark event took place on Wednesday, October 25, 2023  at The Cleveland Museum of Art and brought together over 200 thought leaders, experts, young professionals, and advocates, both virtual and in-person, to engage in a comprehensive dialogue on the vital importance of diversity and inclusion in today’s rapidly evolving world. 86 different Cleveland companies were represented in the audience including but limited to, Cleveland Cavaliers, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland Foundation, The J.M.

The conference featured 14 diverse individuals in either keynote or panel discussions designed to explore the multifaceted dimensions of diversity and its impact on organizations, communities, and society at large. Among the lineup was: 

 

On the agenda, attendees were set  to gain valuable insights into fostering inclusive workplaces, addressing systemic barriers, promoting equitable opportunities, and developing strategies for creating a more just and inclusive society.

 

“What an incredible opportunity to come together with other like-minded young professionals to dig even further into the importance of DEIB in the workplace. Thank you Engage! Cleveland – I look forward to coming back next year!” said 2023 Conference Attendee. 

 

The conference concluded with a VIP behind the scenes tour of the art museum focusing on diversity artists. Attendees were escorted by curators, docents, and art educators who work at the museum and provided exclusive content related to the pieces including the history of the piece, social and historical influences, and facts on the artists. .

 

The conference aimed to provide attendees with actionable takeaways, networking opportunities, and a renewed commitment to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion both personally and professionally.

 

“I left the Engage! Cleveland DEI Conference reinvigorated. There were many ideas I wanted to take back to my organization and was happy that the speakers represented peers from NE Ohio,” said the 2023 Conference Attendee.
