Supporters
We all work in highly competitive industries but at DICE we believe collaboration is crucial to addressing the inclusion crisis.
The road to the final iteration of the DICE Charter being published was supported by some of the world’s biggest events companies and diversity consultancies - all of whom have already made diversity and inclusion a priority.
This part of the DICE website serves two purposes:
First, a huge thank you to those who not only helped write, review, and edit the DICE charter but also support and champion the use of DICE in the conferences and events space.
And second, if you’re a conference organiser looking for help or resources to improve your D&I, these organisations can help.
