This year's Elevate Conference will bring in participants, panels, speakers, and events to center conversations on the complexities and opportunities of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) practices. "Elevate: Let's Dance" invites you to challenge engrained narratives and go beyond the surface-level to promote sustainable outcomes for DE&I in the business world. Elevate welcomes distinguished business leaders from Fortune 500 companies, start-ups and many other firms who are passionately involved in diversity initiatives. We can proudly say that this conference inspires innovation and seeks to take the first steps towards creating a culturally competent modern workplace through powerful discussions about diversity and inclusion in the business world.
Funds from the conference will go toward future DE&I activities at the McCombs School of Business.
Stay tuned for a full schedule and speaker announcement.

About
The Elevate: Diversity & Inclusion Conference at McCombs was founded in 2019 by Ashley Fox and DeAndrea Staes, two MBA alumnae from the Class of 2019 with a passion for diversity and inclusion. What started as an experiment to affect change at McCombs has become one of the most significant outlets we have for DE&I across the program: the annual Elevate conference.
