Diversity & Inclusion


Let’s face it - the IT industry has some way to go when It comes to D&I. At Digital Transformation EXPO, we want to be part of the change. Do you?

Whilst we’re continually striving to get better, there is a lot to do. Only 19% of the UK Tech workforce are women and 4% are of ethnic minorities.

This needs to change!

At DTX, we believe in the power of a diverse workforce and in equal opportunity for all. And, we’re committed to making sure that diversity and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do. From the businesses, organisations and charities that we support, through to our speaker lineups.

The events of 2020 brought home the fragility of life, the need for compassion and the importance of finding balance. As people navigated “living at work”, they also watched live as climate, social justice and diversity issues came to the forefront of everyday discussions.

2022 holds an opportunity for companies and communities to “build back better” with a focus on climate, diversity, skills and people. The technology sector has the potential to make a significant difference to drive these issues forward and progress social agendas alongside digital economies.
