We are very excited to announce that we are partnering with Microsoft to host both us and their community for a tour of their new inclusive designed office, a keynote talk on building Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) into the DNA of the organization, followed by a panel discussion on D&I with AI.

  • keynote ‘How is Microsoft embedding D&I in the D&A of the company’ (with Jacqui Miranda, General Manager Surface & Mixed Reality, Microsoft)
