DEI Lunch & Learn - case study (virtual)

Join MPI Toronto Chapter for an interactive conversation exploring how the principles of inclusive event design can be applied in practice through real experiences, honest reflections, and shared learning.

Earlier this year, MPI Toronto Chapter members came together to explore what it truly means to design more inclusive events. Now, we're continuing that conversation by bringing those ideas into the real world.

Join us for a 60-minute interactive discussion featuring MPI Toronto Chapter leaders as they share how the principles of inclusive event design influenced the planning of their committee events throughout the year. Through candid conversations, practical examples, and audience participation, we'll explore what we've learned, where we've been challenged, and how small, intentional changes can create more welcoming experiences for everyone.

Whether you attended our previous session or are joining the conversation for the first time, you'll leave with fresh perspectives, practical ideas, and inspiration to help make your next event more inclusive.
