2022-Diversity-Inclusion-Banner.jpg

#DiversityInclusionNC

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 organizations, it is not just what we do, but who we are.  

2022 Theme: It Takes Everyone

At this year’s Diversity + Inclusion in Tech Summit, presented by NC TECH and Fidelity Investments, leaders explored what we can do to help make diversity, equity and inclusion part of the technology culture, at our organizations and in our communities. Regardless of where you or your company are on the D+I in Tech journey, this was a must attend.
