At Venture Café we love to connect innovators to make things happen weekly, all year round in ten cities across the globe. And sometimes we like to collaborate with each other to bring YOU specialty content that has been curated from Venture Cafés across the globe.
On Thursday, March 18th – hosted online by Venture Café Philadelphia – we have put together a team of experts to discuss “Taking Action Towards a More Inclusive & Equitable Company Today.” This is not a lesson in ideology, in this session we will give real world, actionable examples of how you can create a pathway to make your company more equitable. Find out how these leaders use innovation and the power of community to create leadership opportunities for BIPOC, create products with diversity in mind, and how to hire, retain and promote diverse teams.

Bruce Katz, Director of the Nowak Metro Finance Lab at Drexel University
Dujon C Smith, Midwest Open Innovation Lead for Accenture Ventures
