This Employee Resource Group (ERG) Summit brings together ERG leaders and members, executive sponsors, HR and DEI practitioners, and inclusion-focused consultants and culture strategists for a day of bold conversation, practical strategy, and cross-sector connection.

This year's theme — Sustaining & Scaling Inclusion: Workforce Sustainability as Competitive Advantage — positions ERGs not as cultural add-ons, but as essential organizational infrastructure driving retention, talent development, and long-term business resilience. Whether you're launching your first ERG or scaling a mature program, you'll leave with sharper tools, stronger networks, and a clearer vision for the role inclusion plays in your organization's future. 

So whether you lead an ERG or an Inclusion Council - this summit is for you!
