The recession has changed the way we think about the workplace—the status quo is no longer an acceptable way to do business.

Working Together has partnered once again with the Diversity Hiring Coalition to bring you another sensational conference exploring how a diverse workforce can help businesses get ahead in the post-recession economy.

Learn about the innovation that comes from a diverse workplace and how your business can benefit.  Immigrants and refugees, people with disabilities, and older workers all bring unique perspectives to the workplace.  Learn how your business can expand its bottom line by tapping into these diverse perspectives.  Hear from other businesses how people from diverse backgrounds have brought innovation and creativity to their workplace helping expand market share and increase profitability.

Who will attend

This conference is aimed at business leaders and decisions makers, as well as the human resource community.  We anticipate between 130-170 attendees. Continuing education credits will be offered for human resource professionals.

Sponsors include
