Testimony from Our Last Conference

One participant’s inspiring experience that highlights the impact and value of our event.

Thank you again for the AI forum last night. It was very insightful. I appreciated the expertise of the panel and was pleasantly surprised at everyone's openness and dedication to DEI. As a woman, it has been my experience that speaking with a group of majority men, that I have to fight to feel like my voice is respected and that I am taken seriously. With this group, it may have been the first time that I've felt truly heard without having to prove myself. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all of you for providing the opportunity to share my thoughts during the forum and for you all to show genuine interest and support, so thank you!
