Creating Access Through Transparency 

U.S. cities from coast to coast are competing in the global war for talent. As companies and organizations look to attract and retain top talent, it is critical to ensure they’re offering a diverse, representative and inclusive work environment. 

The 2022 Commercial Observer Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Forum will focus on the role and impact that access and transparency play in supporting a more diverse workforce. Join the conversation as we discuss the necessity for corporate sponsorships and networking opportunities in advancing the talent pipeline, the importance of creating systems of accountability, how funds are creating greater access to capital, and how supporting industry transparency will help tackle sector-specific challenges related to diversity, equity and inclusion. 

Don’t miss this must-attend national forum promoting candid and honest dialogue around the industry’s progress in creating a more diverse, inclusive and equitable real estate community.
