Designing Your Brand for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Workshop: October 10 @ 1:00 - 3:00 pm | Communications Network

Headed to ComNet18 in San Francisco?

Get there early and register for our pre-conference workshop, With All Due Respect: Designing Your Brand for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

What You’ll Learn:

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are ubiquitous values in the social impact sector, increasingly emphasized in organizational and programmatic strategies. But are the branding and design choices that define the experiences social change brands create for their audiences contradicting these important values? And as a result of failures to embody a commitment to DEI, are organizations missing valuable opportunities to connect with new communities, partners, and funders?

Join our brand strategy and design team leads for a presentation and discussion on how your organization’s diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies are translated into meaningful messaging, design, and experiences—from the big picture down to the smallest, seemingly minor details. You’ll learn the fundamental underlying principles of designing for DEI to share with your team, and actionable ideas for incorporating these values into your external communications and design process.

You can reserve your spot here.
