Diversity Symposium

The City of Richmond Diversity Symposium is a free conference for professionals, volunteers and community members who are interested in learning, sharing and advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in their communities. Held annually each fall, the Symposium equips participants with the knowledge, skills and tools needed to help build diverse, equitable and inclusive communities. 

Who is the Symposium for?

The Symposium is designed for individuals from municipal departments, not-for-profit groups, social service agencies, private sector organizations and academic institutions.

What past participants had to say about the Diversity 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.”
