DEIB Roundtable: Navigating the Corporate Backlash

Join us on Saturday, April 12th, 2025, from 6 pm for an exclusive evening of meaningful dialogue and connection at our Roundtable Discussion on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB).

This event will bring together professionals from a range of industries and backgrounds to explore the evolving landscape of DEIB in the workplace. While progress is being made, DEIB continues to face growing resistance, a backlash often mischaracterised as opposition to "woke culture." From international challenges to local examples like Rio Tinto's gender equity efforts, the conversation around diversity and inclusion has never been more critical.

This event will be facilitated by Baringa Barambah, founder of Yadeni Consulting. Drawing from her experience across corporate, government, and non-profit sectors, Baringa is dedicated to creating spaces where open, honest conversations can flourish, driving deeper understanding and connection among participants.

This interactive session will discuss:

• Best practices for building truly inclusive and equitable workplaces
• The role of DEIB in creating opportunities for all, lifting every voice equitably

Event Highlights:

• Roundtable Discussion
• Networking Opportunities with like-minded professionals passionate about DEIB
• Three-Course Dinner and a two-hour non-alcoholic beverage package
• Tea and coffee service to round out the evening

Who is this event for? Open to anyone, it may be of particular interest to:

• Local, state, and federal government team members
• Local councillors and Members of Parliament
• People wanting to learn more about Diversity & Inclusion
