The Workplace Summit returns the afternoon before the main conference in the San Jose Convention Center. This afternoon of lectures and workshops is designed to bring thought leaders together in one place to educate mid-level managers, executives and HR professionals about strategies to achieve inclusion and diversity in the workplace. We strive for at least a 50% male audience to foster more productive discussions.
Cancellations must be made in writing and emailed to registration@

Yes! We depend on volunteers to keep things running smoothly. In exchange for their time and effort, volunteers are given complete access to Conference offerings outside of their shift schedule. Visit our Volunteer page for everything you need to know about signing up.
Most warmly! If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. We believe that gender partnership is the surest way to create workplaces that work for everyone. While the majority of our attendees are women, men are starting to attend in greater numbers and typically find the day’s programming unique and enlightening.
