What We'll Unpack Together
As a CEO, I used to think impact was measured by business results, donations, or the number of people we could help. A recent sabbatical in the Himalayas challenged that belief. What if the most powerful form of inclusion is not giving money or even saving lives, but sharing knowledge, opportunities, and confidence with someone who would otherwise never have access to them? Through personal stories from the Voices of Himalaya project, I will explore why the future of DEI may be less about programs and policies, and more about expanding human potential. And why changing one life can sometimes have a greater impact than changing a thousand processes.
What does a mature DEI organization actually look like? Let’s say we can crush the whole thing right now and build it from scratch?
Core question: If the first decade was about awareness, what is the next decade about?
Core question: What do leaders do when inclusion creates tension?
Core question: How are expectations around work, identity, and leadership changing?
Core question: As companies automate decisions, how do we prevent old inequalities from scaling?
Core question: How do companies prove DEI creates value?
Core question: What parts of DEI are essential regardless of political, economic, or social shifts?
Core question: Why do DEI strategies often succeed or fail with managers?
Core question: After years of pledges and strategies, how do organizations make DEI part of how they operate?

The Audience Sees the Added Value
- Barbora ValenčíkováCommunity Engagement Manager at AtaccamaI would like to thank the organizers for their efforts and professionalism that made the DEI Forum very beneficial for my professional and personal life and I am very much looking forward to this year's edition. I was most impressed with the panel discussion on inclusive design. It was a truly enriching discussion that brought me many "aha" moments.
- Jarek KotalHead of Learning and Development CZ/SK/GE/AU at Plzeňský PrazdrojGreat and inspiring conference - full of interesting guests, good energy, excellent discussions. There are plenty of conferences where you get an invitation, but you really can't go wrong with this event. The time spent at the conference makes up for the value added from it. I keep D&I Shapers fingers crossed so the second year is also the TOP!
- Gabriela LabíkováCZ&SK CSR Senior Coordinator at DeloitteI would like to thank for the opportunity to participate in the DEI Forum, which was not only inspiring, but in many moments breathtaking. I came to it full of expectations and I was leaving with strong believe that there is no need to wait and delay my dreams any longer - it's time to invest my energy into making them a reality.
