Members Webinar Event Masters: Antwone Stigall, CMP, DES, Head of Events, Course Hero

With the start of Black History Month approaching, it's a good time to highlight racial diversity and inclusion initiatives internally and to outside audiences. But it’s not enough to say you are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. What are you doing about it, year-round? 

In this webinar, Antwone Stigall, formerly head of events at the online learning platform Course Hero, will discuss how to implement diversity and inclusion strategies within your company and at your events. 

Every event is a temporary community, and all attendees should feel safe and comfortable. Are you creating events that are welcoming to all people? Does your audience reflect that? 

Stigall will dive into implementing strategies at the most prominent places — assembling diverse speaker lineups and marketing materials — to the not-so-obvious like intentionally hiring racially diverse vendors and elevating marginalized voices within your company. We will also look at how to measure results and become an advocate within the industry.

After this webinar you should be able to:

• Define belonging, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
• Evaluate your company’s diversity and inclusion efforts and how those translate to your events.
• Develop a DEI plan for your workplace and events.
• Identify key challenges that arise and how to overcome them.
• Advocate within your organization and the industry for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and practice.

This is the next event in our thought-provoking webinar series—available exclusively to ELI members like you. Our Event Masters speakers will share in-the-moment insights and stories, encouraging you to think differently, to find inspiration, to uncover new opportunities.
