Breakout Session Descriptions

Empowering Untapped Talent: Reimagining your Hiring Process from Recruiting to Training

Led by Lindsay Wrege, Co-Founder of 321 Coffee

Format: Keynote + Panel

Organizations are built with people. Join Lindsay to learn how to rethink and redesign your hiring processes to recruit, interview, and train diverse talent — especially individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Lindsay will guide you through the thought exercise they used in building 321's hiring and interview process, which has resulted in a consistent 90-100% retention rate and a 500+ person waiting list. You'll also hear firsthand from current 321 Coffee baristas about their experiences and growth at 321. Walk away with ways to attract diverse talent, build more inclusive teams, and build a better business because of it.

Adapting for Accessibility: Identifying Barriers and Innovating Systems that Work for Everyone

Led by Michael Evans, Co-Founder of 321 Coffee

Format: Activity-Based Learning

Accessibility is an ever-evolving journey. Join Michael and members of the 321 Coffee team to hear about 321 Coffee’s journey in creating systems that make each job within the business more accessible to all. Attendees will engage in an interactive hands-on activity that demonstrates the mutual benefits of making accommodations for both employees and businesses. Expect to discover practical and transferable strategies to identify barriers and innovate solutions that foster inclusivity in your own organization.

Leading with Curiosity: How Inclusive Leadership Shapes Workplace Culture

Led by Kurt Merriweather, Workplace Options

Format: Roundtable Discussion

Join Workplace Options' roundtable discussion to explore the key components of Inclusive Leadership—what it is, why it matters, and how it can transform businesses in today’s dynamic work environment. A seat at this table will help you gain a deeper understanding of how inclusive leadership can drive organizational success, foster a culture of belonging, and enhance employee engagement.

Embedding Inclusion into Culture: Sustaining Inclusive Values when DEI is Under Pressure

Join Sapient’s dynamic roundtable to learn how to move beyond compliance-based approaches and explore practical, sustainable strategies for weaving inclusion into the fabric of your organization – especially when DEI is under scrutiny. Attendees will gain insights into spotting hidden biases in workplace culture, building leadership accountability for inclusion-driven change, fostering an environment where diverse perspectives drive innovation, and turning inclusive values into daily actions that resonate across teams.
