The City of Richmond Diversity Symposium is a free conference for professionals, volunteers and community members interested in advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in their communities. Held annually each October, the Diversity Symposium aims to equip participants with the knowledge, skills and tools to build diverse, equitable and inclusive communities.
Who is the Symposium for?
The Symposium is intended for people who work in the field of diversity and inclusion, such as professionals and volunteers from municipal departments, not-for-profit groups, social service organizations, private sector organizations and academic institutions.
What our past participants had to say about the Symposium
“The Diversity Symposium was both inspiring and engaging. What I liked most was being able to listen to honest opinions and real experiences, re-affirming commitments to DEI values.”
“Open discussion and thought-provoking topics that inspire us to stretch and grow – lots of opportunity for perspective-taking.”
