The DEI Conference 2025, held on June 18 in Bangalore, was a landmark event in India's journey toward fostering inclusive, equitable, and diverse workplaces. Jointly hosted by ACCA India and EY, and seamlessly executed by NextGenInnov8, the conference brought together a dynamic mix of industry leaders, change-makers, and professionals committed to redefining Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as more than just a checkbox—it was positioned as a strategic business priority. Throughout the day, attendees engaged in deep, thought-provoking conversations enriched by personal narratives, cross-industry experiences, and actionable insights. From the power of inclusive leadership to creating measurable DEI frameworks, every session reflected a unified commitment to creating workplaces that are not only inclusive and equitable but also sustainable and future-ready. Far from being just another industry event, the DEI Conference 2025 served as a powerful catalyst for change, inspiring organizations to move beyond intent and embed inclusion into the very fabric of their culture. At NextGenInnov8, we take immense pride in curating and executing platforms like these that drive purpose, spark dialogue, and leave a lasting impact on the way businesses think and operate.
