Amplifying Black Excellence: Learn More About Our Sponsors, Partners, and Speakers

Learn more about the speakers and sponsors that contributed to our February 2022 virtual summit, Diversity Reboot: Amplifying Black Excellence; 4 days of fireside chats, panel discussions, networking sessions, and a 1-day virtual job fair.

Last week, we welcomed black leaders and their allies across various industries to share their experiences, insights, and expertise as to how black excellence can be amplified not only during Black History Month, but every day of every month, now and for years to come. In case you missed it, you can relive the entire experience on our site.
