According to our member feedback survey in 2021, the business community is eager to begin or continue their journey to becoming more diverse, equitable, accessible, and inclusive (DEAI) employers.

As an extension of your business, the Halifax Chamber of Commerce is here to support our 1900+ members on the path to understanding. We are pleased to present our inaugural SURGE Conference on March 24, 2023.

The half-day conference offers content specific to building and maintaining your business' DEAI policy and strategy. Looking to hire from diverse communities? Want to establish cultural competency training for your staff? Need more information on becoming more inclusive but don't know where to start? Our speakers are here to help. 

If you want to:

- Walk away with a clear vision of how DEAI will show up in your organization,
- Access the resources you need to become a DEAI knowledgeable employer,
 - Improve your supplier diversity,
- Connect with businesses and start the DEAI journey together,
-Learn from experts in fields related to implementing DEAI strategies in organizations,
