Diversity, Equity, Access and Inclusion in Retail

September 18, 2024
Connection Corner, Booth #4143

Please come share in a unique discussion panel, to discuss DEAI in retail. This discussion will expose you to different perspectives in social sustainability, economics, and retail operations. Relish in the opportunity to hear from successful industry leaders, that embrace DEAI ideas, and create workplace innovation through positive change. 

Why do we need DEAI in Retail? We need DEAI, because Retail is a cumulation of ideas, people, needs and wants. Retail has never been a one size fits all, if you do not believe that, go to the cereal aisle in a grocery store. In that aisle, you will find many different faces on boxes, different accessible heights, different costs, and unique flavors. Yet, all of these very different cereals share the same aisle, that many different people will shop.

Look at your business like a cereal aisle. Does your customer have access to your products, does your supplier diversity keep your merchandise diverse and unique, is your team reflective of your community, and are you offering a wide range of price points? Yes, this is a very simple analogy, but it is the basics of looking at things through a different and innovative perspective. So, bring your favorite cereal to snack on, while we discuss some amazing DEAI topics.
