About CCDI UnConference
Our immersive and collaborative conference encourages people with an interest in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) as well as diversity professionals to break away from the boredom of traditional conferences with a high degree of participation – perfect for those who value networking, interactive workshops, and experiential learning.
We will continue to deliver CCDI Unconference as an immersive, interactive, entertaining virtual experience over two half-days.
