WDLS Harvard 2010: CALL FOR REGISTRATION!
The first ever major Diversity Conference at Harvard!!!!
Building on the unprecedented success of a sold-out World Diversity Leadership Summit 2009, the WDLS will accomplish yet another pioneering moment: the first ever major corporate diversity conference hosted at Harvard University's esteemed Medical School conference center. The WDLS 2010 will be the most impactful conference of the diversity space with such "firsts" as:
- C-Suite Summit hosted by a leading Harvard professor and with 50 C-suite executives already committed (afternoon of Monday September 13th)
- The world's first global diversity innovation whitepaper featuring 10 great organizations
- The provision of WDLS Harvard 2010 educational certificates
EMC, one of the world's leading technology companies with 46,000 employees globally and headquarters based outside of Boston is the official conference title partner.
Given that last year's conference was sold out with nearly 430 participants, and that this year's conference will be a first of its kind diversity leadership session at Harvard, do not wait until the last minute this year, because registrations will be gone.
