Diversity is critical to the success of any workplace. It provides a wide range of viewpoints, experiences and perspectives and improves the bottom line. For NC TECH and its member companies, it is not just what we do, but who we are.
At this year’s Diversity + Inclusion in Tech Summit, leaders in tech, including Microsoft's US CTO, Gina Loften, will help us explore what we can do to help make diversity, equity and inclusion part of the technology culture, at our companies and in our communities. Regardless of where you or your company are on the D+I in Tech journey, this is the conversation for you.
