The Diversity & Inclusion track starts Tuesday morning just after the Microsoft keynote with:

  • Welcome reception on Tuesday evening after the expo reception

The Diversity and Inclusion Track at SharePoint Conference will showcase discussions around the following topics: 

  • Communication styles across the generations

  • Building a diverse tech team

  • Growth mindset in Office 365

  • Executive presence and personal branding

  • Leading with empathy and other qualities of great contributors

  • Belonging, mentorship, and parenting

  • Leadership panels

  • Accessibility

The Diversity and Inclusion program looks to reflect topical issues of people of different backgrounds, experiences, perspectives as well as gender, race, religion, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. This track hopes to provide a dialogue where openness and transparency demonstrate that diverse and inclusive teams are better for business and our world.

BREAKFAST MEET-UP: BUILDING YOUR PERSONAL BRAND

WEDNESDAY, MAY 22 | 7:30AM - 8:30AM | EXPO HALL (MARQUEE BALLROOM)

WHAT BURNING MAN TAUGHT ME ABOUT BELONGING

THURSDAY, MAY 23 | 2:00PM - 3:00PM | PREMIER BALLROOM 301

Belonging is when others take the time to know you, take care of you and include you for all the things you are. This word also means when you feel welcome, included and a part of the team. We spend over half our lives in our workplaces. Feeling like you belong in your company is a large part of getting up out of bed and knowing the contributions you make will be heard and respected. Join Heather Newman, Microsoft MVP and CMO of Content Panda to hear how Burning Man and the SharePoint Community taught her about belonging and steps you can take in your role to be a leader in helping others feel like they belong. Building community starts with how we treat each other.

I will also be moderating the following panels:
