SUMMARY:Bloomberg Equality Summit: An Evening with Tyler Perry
DESCRIPTION:Equipping modern leaders with the ideas and intelligence they need to drive inclusive solutions. We stand at a critical moment for the advancement of equality\, from the workplace to society and culture at large. Data shows that gender\, wealth and racial gaps continue to persist — yet there is tremendous momentum as modern leaders embrace their influence in driving positive change. Bloomberg Equality is built to meet these leaders where they are and enable real progress. \nREGISTER HERE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Program\n\n\n\n\n\nAs Bloomberg Equality enters its sixth year\, our theme is Fostering an Inclusive Economy. The rapid digital transformation of our economy requires business leaders and policy makers to redouble efforts to ensure that no one gets left behind. We are at a critical moment to advance equity and equality. \nAt our inaugural event in Atlanta\, we’ll explore the potential of what can be achieved by setting ideological differences aside for economic opportunities. Atlanta has fueled a reverse migration to the South and has grown to be the ninth largest market in the U.S. How can leaders ensure that rapid pace of growth does not exile the most vulnerable to the fringes of society? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
