Diversity Night

September 7th, 3 pm - 9 pm

The Diversity Night presents a global perspective on present and future diversity and inclusion policies and environments. It aims to focus on fundamental cultural change involving companies, media and society. The event will offer insights on: intersectionality in the workplace, gender equality, migration, generational inclusivity and the diversity gap in the tech industry.

medianet berlinbrandenburg carefully curates this year's Diversity Night at SUN X. As an interdisciplinary network community of the media, creative and digital industries in the capital region, we are proud to mirror the complexity of Diversity within the program.
