Time to Discuss The EDI Imperative in STEAM

On November 6, OSPE will be hosting the largest Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Forum (EDI) in Canada. We anticipate 1200 delegates from government, industry and academia. Please see www.ospeedi.ca for details on the Forum; you can view an impressive and relevant re-cap video from our 2018 sold-out event on the home page of the website!

 We are hoping that your organizations might consider purchasing a Table for 10 to this impressive and relevant national Forum! Tables for 10 are $2,750 per table-for-ten, and we invoice. 

 The EDI Imperative: Changing the Profile of STEAM in Canada

§ Location: Shaw Centre, 55 Colonel Drive in Ottawa, Ontario

§ Date: November 6, 2019

§ Time: 8:30 am – 5:30 pm

§ Forum details: www.ospeedi.ca

EDI in Canada’s STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) sector is vital – the moral and business case has been made. If we don’t work together to remove barriers to full inclusion, our businesses, educational institutions, and society will miss out on innovative ideas, perspectives and attitudes that can help shape our nation’s future.

It is time to recognize that more needs to be done to ensure EDI becomes a reality, not only by sharing insights on the challenges that persist, but also by defining solutions to address them. This event is not just about creating a conversation, it’s about fostering a movement.

If you/your organization are ‘out of town’ and are not able to attend the Forum, we encourage you to purchase a Table for 10. Of course, you may send your staff and guests, but we (OSPE) would also be pleased to fill it with 4th year and graduate-level engineering and STEAM students. These students will be seated at your table, as your organization’s guests! If you are ‘out of town’ but would like to purchase a Table-for-Ten for engineering and STEAM students, just let me know or contact our office! Your ‘Table-for-Ten’ will have your organization’s logo on it…excellent branding opportunity!

Hope to see you and your team at this important, relevant and national event!
