WITI's 2020 Digital Inclusivity Summit:

Arguably, 2020 has been the most difficult year any of us has lived through. Join us for WITI’s Digital Inclusivity Virtual Summit, December 8-10, where we will marshall our forces and prepare to emerge stronger than ever in 2021.

Because in spite of – or perhaps because of – the inconceivable challenges we’ve had to face, necessity has forced us to think differently – to be resilient, and to find new ways of getting things done – to dig deeper into our creative mentalities and create workarounds – to integrate technology into our everyday lives more than we ever imagined.

This Year’s Speakers Include:

 – Michelle Bailey, GVP/GM & Research Fellow, IDC
 – John Bates, CEO, Executive Speaking Success
 – Rhonda Childress, Vice President and IBM Fellow – GTS Data Security and Privacy Officer, IBM
 – Karen Cone, Venture Partner, Mastersfund
– Connie Guglielmo, Editor-in-Chief, CNET
 – Bryce Johnson, Inclusive Lead, Microsoft Devices, Microsoft
 – Rene Redwood, CEO, Redwood Enterprise
 – Debra Ruh, CEO & Founder, Ruh Global Impact
 – Joy Tan, Senior Vice President, Public Affairs, Huawei Technologies
 – Jason Thompson, VP/Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Western Governors University
