Danielle Spikener, Head of Inclusive Marketing at Kraft-Heinz, moderated a panel featuring Jon Gray (co-founder of Ghetto Gastro), Kwame Onwuachi (Chef/Author/TV Personality), and Jade Verrett (host of Heinz Black Kitchen Initiative’s James Beard Award-winning podcast). They explored how culture is driving food innovation today and tomorrow. Our Creative Director, Vinh Tran, led a workshop titled "Giving Face: The Power of Picturing Culture with AI," showcasing how AI can create inclusive imagery, impacting major brands at Cashmere. Vinh also conducted a live demo of MidJourney’s inclusive image creation, collaborating with the audience. Aki Spicer (he/him), our Chief Strategy Officer, contributed to a powerful session "From AI to I-AI: Demanding True Inclusivity in AI Outputs," addressing the critical need for inclusivity in AI, and highlighting how the new majority remains underrepresented and trapped in harmful stereotypes.

We are wrapping up Women's History Month with Chief Miami Innovation event! This week I joined the Chief Miami Innovation Round Table: Drive Innovation for better decision-making. An event put together by the incredible Cynthia R. with great discussions and questions masterfully managed by the panelists Karina DuQuesne, Loren Rosario - Maldonado, PCC, Stephanie Lim, FACHE. Three key takeaways: 🔵 Start asking more questions and prioritizing new ideas when they come into the funnel. Why do we want to do this, and why is it important now? 🔵 The secret sauce of innovation is always going to be the people. Who is the team behind it, and how well do they work together? 🔵 We must carefully review where we want AI to be implemented in our organizations, which are the priority projects aligned with our strategy, values, and pillars. Finally, #GenAI in business and corporate settings will continue revolutionizing every industry. This reminded me of a story shared by Karina... An #AI bot joins your executive call to take notes, generate automated messages, and distribute the meeting minutes to a list of contacts in the meeting invite...just be aware, take precautions, and asses the legal implications this could have for your company. What's your advice to fuel innovation within your teams? Let's hear it in the comments. #innovation #aileaders #productmanagement

🌍 We attended Sustainability LIVE: Diversity & Inclusion this week, and it was inspiring to hear from some of the leading voices in sustainable business practices! 🌱 The lineup of keynote speakers and panelists was impressive, featuring executives from companies like Accenture, Rakuten TV, and Carlsberg Group. Each session provided invaluable insights that we can carry forward to help our clients create events that prioritise inclusivity and diversity. One standout talk was from Stuart Branch - MBA, Chartered FCIPD at The Weetabix Food Company. Stuart shared how Weetabix has embedded meaningful policies to foster a fairer, stronger workplace culture. A particularly insightful takeaway was their recent investment in a Graduate Programme - a formerly overlooked initiative that has now blossomed into a key talent pipeline, thanks to focused diversity policies. This shift demonstrates the power of intentional D&I strategies to support talent and drive growth. Another thought-provoking session was a panel discussion on the impact of AI on Diversity & Inclusion. Experts like Peter Mousaferiadis (CEO & Founder, Cultural Infusion), Helen Milner OBE (Group Chief Executive, Good Things Foundation), Adam Karnama, PhD (CEO, Spritju), and @Dr.Sourav Roy explored how AI can be both an opportunity and a risk in D&I efforts. They highlighted critical approaches for integrating ethical practices into AI, ensuring we build inclusive, fair tech solutions. Key Takeaways for Inclusive AI Development: 🤝 Collaborate with AI developers to embed inclusivity into algorithm design. 📊 Use diverse training data to mitigate bias in AI models. 🔍 Monitor AI performance regularly to identify and address biases as they emerge. We’re excited to take these insights back to our clients and help them create events that reflect these evolving standards in inclusivity, diversity, and ethical technology use! #SustainabilityLIVE #DiversityAndInclusion #EventManagement #SustainableEvents #InclusiveEvents #AIInDiversity #EventPlanning

It’s tempting to be drawn to shiny objects that promise quick fixes to the big challenges impacting so many people around the world. But frequently the best solutions are the most basic. Consider the simple shoe. 1 out of 11 people on Earth don’t have reliable access to footwear. Can you imagine one player on your kid’s soccer team playing shoeless every match? Of course not. But that’s the reality millions of children face. And that reality is a gateway for a life of sickness and poverty. But what if those kids - and their parents - had equitable access to affordable footwear and a bundle of services to keep them healthy? That’s what the team at The World Shoe is undertaking. Think of what the combined superpower of Nike UNICEF and Girl Effect could produce and that begins to describe the potential of what these folks are doing. They are making the first antimicrobial, biodegradable shoe produced in Africa for humanitarian purposes and global consumers alike. Follow Astor Chambers, Manny Ohonme, Charles Johnson, IDSA and the rest of this incredible team. They’re delivering a big reason to have hope for the future.
Did you know that currently there are an estimated 600 million people living without shoes? Today, our Vice President of Marketing Astor Chambers attended the Social Innovation Summit, where he was a speaker at the “Flipping the Script on Health Inequity” roundtable. Astor was able to discuss how World Shoe stands at the intersection of fashion, health, and social purpose. Our shoes are a tool to prevent disease, enable opportunity and support sustainable communities. If you would like to learn more about the World Shoe feel free to DM or comment below! #SIS24
