During the COVID-19 pandemic, our goal is to connect D&I professionals in a healthy and safe environment so that their important work can continue to evolve and innovate during these uncertain and unprecedented times.

Since March 2020, we have been building out the world’s first, always-on, 3D immersive, collaboration campus that fosters community engagement, togetherness and presence for global DE&I leaders and their teams.

Our first Virtual Diversity Summit was held on May 13-15 and featured DE&I leaders from Ford Motor Company, Delta Airlines, Coca-Cola, Electronic Arts, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball, United States Tennis Association, US Lacrosse, Riot Games, Quicken Loans Family of Companies, Atos, Commvault, Micron Technology, Activision, eBay, Burberry, TripAdvisor, Reed Smith LLP, Deloitte, Starbucks, Dropbox, and many other of the world’s most recognized brands.

For the past few months, we ran a crowd sourcing campaign to allow those in our DE&I community the opportunity to donate what they could afford to become Virtual DE&I Campus members. We are proud to report that we helped 258 DE&I practitioners secure annual passes for as little as $20! Unfortunately, we only achieved 10% of our monetary goal set for the campaign raising close to $5000. The campaign is now closed; however, we will continue to support our DE&I practitioner community and have reduced our prices for campus memberships and private team suites by 50% and will grandfather these discounted rates for as long as clients remain active. Each year, the 50% discount will apply to all renewals. Discounts will remain active for the remainder of 2020.

In these testing times across the world, it’s nice to do some good for those trying to uplift others. What these last few weeks have taught us is that we will get through these tough times as a collective, as a community, and as one unit.
