ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
This symposium brings together best-in-class entrepreneurs, executives, investors, policymakers, researchers, scientists, and technologists drawn from the Atlanta metro region and across the United States. The symposium will focus on the interesting intersection of business, management, strategy, healthcare, and medicine. The emphasis will be on compelling, cross-functional, and inter-disciplinary themes. We will discuss the business case for how diversity, inclusion, and equity –in addition to being beneficial for humanity and society– are catalytic for decreasing costs, increasing revenues, and ultimately driving higher profits at the organizational level. The event will punctuate the crucial importance of diversity, inclusion, and engagement for modern organizations. Most importantly, we will examine the “why” and “how” D&I are good for patients and their families. This will be an engaging, highly interactive exchange of ideas and information, with the hope and expectation that multiple subsequent collaborations between participants will emerge in the wake of the event.
