Designing Experiences as a Champion for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

MPI-CAC is thrilled to welcome Zoe Moore, a leading Certified Diversity Practitioner by the National Diversity Council, as our workshop facilitator. Demonstrable inclusion and embracing diversity can create belonging — boosting engagement, value, and outcomes. Designing inclusive event experiences has many benefits; the more attentive we become to others, the more everyone wins.

Diversity, inclusion, and belonging also boost creativity by encouraging different perspectives and experiences to come together in one space. For events, this could translate into increased engagement, new ideas, and opportunities for enhanced learning and innovation by limiting groupthink. By adopting creative approaches to events, event professionals upskill and differentiate themselves.

Most importantly, inclusive events can lead to more people feeling heard, understood, and cared for — an outcome many rank as high value in the workplace. Two of the most prevalent generations in the workforce — Millennials and Gen Z — say diversity and inclusion are vital. Event professionals can expect these values to spill over into business events by extension. For these groups, respect and belonging are everything. As a result, performative measures are no longer satisfactory.

When people feel they belong, they feel they have a voice. This experience, in turn, could help build communities where attendees become ambassadors for brands and event communities because they feel included.
