HPA has announced programme details for ALL IN, a free virtual event taking place May 24-27.
Presented by HPA ALL, the foundational programme driving HPA-led actions focusing on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within the industry, ALL IN is a week-long virtual event to raise awareness and promote DEI efforts in the industry.
ALL IN will feature industry leading expert presentations, live discussions, and meet ups. All presentations of ALL IN are scheduled between 6pm and 8:30pm GMT, facilitating conversations about this important work between community members in locations around the world.
On Monday, May 24, ALL IN kicks off with a presentation from Rajkumari Neogy entitled ‘Understanding Humans @ Work’. Neogy has spent 25 years at the intersection of technology and culture, working with some of the most important technology companies in the world. In her session, she will explore the brain’s circuity of emotion and motivation and how it directly shapes our leadership styles and our levels of engagement from meeting to meeting. This session is the first in a four part series sponsored by HPA. The sessions with Neogy offer a unique and important opportunity to engage with one of the industry’s most prominent executive coaches.
