SKETCHTalks

Diversity & Inclusion

SKETCHTalks bring together leaders from Toronto's technology, advertising, creative and not-for-profit sectors to create strategies and dialogue around impact and change-making in the community.

With The Globe and Mail recently heralding "Diversity and Inclusion give firms a competitive edge," there's no doubt creating an organizational culture that champions diversity and inclusion in the workplace benefits our organizations, our societies, and ultimately our world. Many corporations and nonprofits in Toronto are leading the way to workplace diversity and inclusion–and benefitting from it.

SKETCHTalks is proud to bring together panelists from some of these very organizations who'll share with you their own personal, inspiring stories and shared journeys, and insightful strategies that can lead to organizational transformation.
