recognizes leaders and pioneers of diversity and those who care about growth and innovation through inclusion. It was originally launched during the summer of 2010 in the Hamptons and scaled to Silicon Valley in 2015. This invite only event gathers over 200 accomplished black leaders that are hard to reach and often, under the radar.
