The 3rd Annual StartOut Equity Summit
The 3rd Annual StartOut Equity Summit
Thursday, September 15, 2022 (11:00 AM - 4:00 PM) (EDT)
Description
StartOut is excited to present the 3rd Annual StartOut Equity Summit, a virtual event that will focus on ways for underrepresented entrepreneurs to thrive across geographies and industries regardless of their background.
The Summit is envisioned as an environment for dialogue and action where every participant is prepared to share insights, reflect on experiences, and be prepared to pose new questions and reframe old answers.
This Summit aspires to be dynamic, exploratory, and honest. We work to understand lived experiences, while shifting the conversations forward towards actionable initiatives.
The Equity Summit's programming will begin at 8:00am PDT / 11:00am EDT and will end by 2:00pm PDT / 5:00pm EDT, with networking opportunities immediately following.
The 3rd Annual StartOut Equity summit will take place virtually on the Accelevents platform.
Registrants will receive their unique links to join within 24-hours of the event. You'll have the opportunity to create a profile in advance of the event, craft your summit schedule, and there will be opportunities to network and meet with one another within the event platform. Email info@startout.org with any questions.
