Inclusion

Reflecting humanity in everything digital.

We advance inclusion through awareness and initiatives that will empower under represented groups and build an inclusive future.

Focusing on awareness and education

We inspire the industry to focus on and increase diversity and inclusion (D&I) by promoting awareness of the digital infrastructure industry and its opportunities to underrepresented groups.

To advance D&I, we exchange and share best practices and guidance to help anyone discover, enter, and thrive in the industry.

Inspiring the industry through Experience

How to attract, recruit, and retain people from diverse backgrounds and help promote a culture of inclusive behavior — irrespective of size, location, type of business, and whether the business is established or a startup.

We leverage research and experiences from other industries, illustrated by stories from people in our industry who have been on this journey. It aims to inspire and guide you on your journey.

Breaking through barriers

How to address specific barriers to advancement? We support iMasons Members of underrepresented groups in the industry and support them in advancing their career.

From Masterclasses to Meet ups with role models, we aim to inspire all.

Powering a path forward

We promote training and transition programs to enter the industry, showing career pathways and routes into the industry. By gaining visibility at external events, we develop opportunities for specific communities.
