Description
In conjunction with our prestigious 2020 D&I in India Best Practice Awards and ahead of the announcement of the winners at our Virtual Awards Ceremony, we present this Virtual Conference. Through a series of panel discussions, we’ll be inviting the finalists of the key award categories to share their nominated programmes and initiatives. This provides an unparalleled opportunity for business leaders and D&I professionals to gain valuable insights to what other companies are doing, learn why they have been selected as finalists and take best practice back to their own organisations.
