Come engage in deep-dive conversations around the DEI topics that matter most today. Prior to the pandemic in early 2020, the medical meeting industry was already challenged with a shortage of medical meeting/event planners to service the increased number of programs over the prior years as we came out of the recession. Add to this shortage, a lack of diversity, equity & inclusion on several visual levels (i.e. race, ethnicity, age) as well as unseen disparities (i.e. physical and cultural to name a few). In this joint MPI-DEI Committee and MPI-MD Council #RealTalk Unplugged, we will look at why these disparities may exist and begin to identify potential strategies to attract a more diverse group of professionals to the industry. _REGISTER FOR FREE HERE [https://academy.mpi.org/mpi/live/4497/page/19932]!_ __ _THIS SESSION IS GRACIOUSLY SPONSORED BY_ [custom image] _ _ _A proud supporter of: _ [custom image] _THIS SESSION IS POWERED BY:_ [custom image] _COMMUNICATE IN ANY LANGUAGE - EVERYTHING YOU SAY, TRANSLATED ON THE FLY._ ACCESSIBILITY PLATFORM: Zoom Meetings (more information [https://explore.zoom.us/en/accessibility/]) ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES: * Wordly [https://www.wordly.ai/] real time AI powered interpretation and translation * Transcriptions ACCOMMODATION REQUEST CONTACT: MPIAcademy@mpiweb.org
