Annual Conference

Main content start

The Office for IDEAL Advancement (formerly UHR-DEIB) welcomes diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) Community of Practice (DCP) members from across the university to our annual conference each fall.

About the conference

IDEAL DCP Conference 2024

The third annual IDEAL DCP Conference 2024: Unleashing Our Brilliance - Working Collectively to Navigate the Mess will be held on Thursday, September 12. The conference offers a hybrid format (in-person and virtual) with additional virtual-only programming throughout the weeks following the conference. 

The "mess" can't stop us: Unleash(ing) our brilliance in 2024

This year's conference promises to be an empowering experience. Imagine the collective brilliance that emerges when a diversity of voices and perspectives come together! The conference acknowledges that the path to equity isn't straightforward and the process for implementing meaningful change is complex. We'll be navigating the "mess" together, sharing tacit knowledge and practices, and developing innovative strategies to dismantle barriers and navigate the current socio-political backlash. 

Join us and be part of this collective force for social justice.
