Fearless Conversation: Why Didn't Anyone Say Something

Think fast: In the past year, what creative ideas garnered national attention and landed flat, leaving many to ask why didn’t anyone say something? While many agencies have created values and commitments around diversity and inclusion, how does that play out in the very rooms where ideas are born? What do we say when we believe something may not be appropriate—even offensive? And who is sitting at the table to serve as a sensitivity filter for those ideas?

Join in this year's Fearless Conversation to learn how we can create a safe space within our agencies to explore uncomfortable conversations, and learn to create not only great work, but mutual understanding.

Our 2019 panelists are:

• Katy Hornaday, Executive Creative Director, Barkley
• Philip Polk, Chief Diversity Officer and VP of Multicultural Strategy, Hallmark
• Jose Martinez, Multicultural Creative Director, angelmartinez12.com
• Jon Marzette, Designer, DJ and podcaster, Breakthrough Marketing

Facilitated by Nico Wiggins, Creative Director and Producer, Nicogiles Media
Emceed by Adam Miller, Director of Alumni Fellowship, Teach For America
