Tech

Why attend? Global competition for top tech talent is intensifying. Prospective employees of the future will choose their employers based on how well they align with an organization’s culture and values.

  • Every individual, regardless of role or title, can help create a truly inclusive organization.

These dynamic workshops are targeted to all members of the tech and business community, including those building and contributing to R&D, innovation, business, and HR teams.

Join the event to:

  • Better understand how to recognize bias;
  • Test assumptions;
  • Communicate effectively; and
  • Acquire practical insight, tools, and approaches to create an inclusive team, space, and culture.

Health and safety is a top priority: Space is limited to help create a meaningful and impactful experience. Invest Ottawa has established rigorous protocols to help keep you healthy and safe.
