Our Way Forward

We are on our way forward. This is our chance to do better and be better, and we are all in.

You have been waiting to hear from us. We have been working hard. We are listening and learning.

Over the next 12 weeks, we commit to creating change, in who we are and in what we represent. And we plan to bring you along on this journey. Our 3 commitments are:

1. Changing the event name
2. Creating a DEI coalition for events, industry-wide
3. Being fully transparent

We will continue to update you with our actions. In the meantime, we ask that you take a few moments to read this article by Alexandera Houchin. Please read it with an open heart and an open mind.

With kindness,

LeLan Dains, Kristi Mohn, Treva Worrel and Michelle Duffy
