Diversity Sessions

  • Tuesday, May 21st
    • Diverse Voices Furthering Innovation Panel
    Panel includes: Carla Piñeyro Sublett, CMO, NI (Moderator); Anita Dodia, Vice President of Engineering, Vrbo; Duy-Loan Le, Board Member, NI; Fabiola De la Cueva, Leader at Delacor, LabVIEW Champion; Dr. Donald Bossi, President, FIRST; and Kirya Francis, VP of Diversity & Inclusion, GSD&M
    Join us for a panel discussing the benefits of promoting diversity within the technology industry, and challenges that are often faced when working towards that goal. Our panelists will speak from personal experience on everything from working to diversify the pipeline of students in technology, to working as a minority within the industry, to benefits realized by prioritizing diversity and inclusion within a technology company.
    • Unlocking the Competitive Advantage of a Multigenerational Workplace by Ashlee J. Davis, Cargill
    For the first time in modern history, the American workforce comprises five generations working side by side. Statistics show that this newly recognized multigenerational workforce has caused organizational behavior changes and unprecedented levels of workplace tension. To successfully manage and motivate a workforce that can easily range in age from 18 to 80, organizations, and the leaders and teams within them, need to understand the culture, principles, and other factors that create a welcoming workplace for generations to achieve their goals both individually and collectively. At this session, explore recently released research data, common multigenerational workplace problems, and the tools you need to realize the ultimate competitive advantage that a multigenerational workplace offers.
    • Empowering Employees to be their Authentic Selves at Work by Deirdre Walsh, Silicon Labs
    Despite workplaces focusing on diversify and inclusion, many individuals feel the need to downplay or disassociate part of their identity to avoid potential bias, which is known as covering. In fact, 75 percent of individuals feel the need to cover in the workplace, which can have serious repercussions on an organization's innovation and productivity. Join Deirdre Walsh, the director of Marketing and Communications at Silicon Labs, as she discusses the importance of helping employees be their authentic selves at work.
  • Wednesday, May 22nd
    • The Why and How of Inclusive Teams by Stefanie Breyer, NI
    Join Stefanie Breyer, NI's vice president of product planning, as she discusses how diverse and inclusive teams deliver increased performance and foster innovation. Drawing on her extensive experience building effective and high-performing teams in R&D, Stefanie discusses the benefits and challenges of having a diverse team and shares some best practices for building strong, collaborative teams in which everyone has a sense of purpose and belonging.
    • Bias Busting Throughout the Workplace by Ana Dison and Enrique Dominguez
    To create an inclusive environment where differences are respected and valued, it is important to explore our own mindsets, behaviors, and biases. In this interactive session, explore unconscious bias, how to counter it, and how to create and support a diverse and inclusive culture where all people are empowered to contribute fully.
