Conferences

Assisting conference organizers in a broad range of sectors to include equity at every stage of their events.

Conferences

The Challenges

Conferences are opportunities for professionals in a given sector, industry, or organization to gather, discuss key issues, and learn from experts, innovators, and leaders in their space. Whatever the focus, from health to artificial intelligence, these conferences, in some way, address human experiences. As such, they should consider people in a holistic way and offer some critical analysis about those experiences. Wherever people is the focus, equity factors in because issues of disproportionality and disparity can manifest anywhere.

It is important for professionals in any industry to be able to consider the context of who they serve and the context they live and work in. The challenge with involving equity content in many conferences is that the need for the conversation is not always clear. Organizers who argue for its inclusion run the risk of being challenged about its necessity and may struggle to articulate why it is worth the financial investment to address the subject.

Our Solutions

KOJO Institute offers a number of services for industry and organization conferences including engaging guest lectures, dynamic keynote speeches, and innovative workshops. Each of these services are customized to introduce, discuss, or educate audiences on equity as it applies to the industry and the theme of the conference. We also provide equity experts to participate in panel discussions.

Additionally, we consult with conference organizers to support them on critical decisions during the development stage of the conference, such as selecting diverse and qualified keynote speakers and panellists and assisting in the drafting of equity-conscious written material. Our services help our clients to ensure that equity is not only a topic at their conferences but also a consideration in every stage of the event.
