      Outstanding opportunity to network and learn with leaders doing the essential work in the L&D / DEI space. Unbelievable value-rich impact! Tracy Salters

      The Opal organization planned and executed one of the best conferences I have ever attended. The speakers were extremely knowledgeable and willing to share not only their stories but details that other practitioners can use to have an impact back at their organizations. Duane J La Bom

      Chief Learning & Inclusion Officer, Cornerstone OnDemand

      The first time I participated in an in-person conference post pandemic, and it went above and beyond my expectations. Thought provoking agenda and great speakers. Eli Bendet-Taicher

      Head of Global Learning & Development, WIX

      Opal Group's creation, planning and execution of the L&D and DEI Executive Summit in Atlanta was absolutely flawless. The sessions were extremely engaging and full of information, offering best practices from top experts in the field. These people know what they are doing and have raised the bar for all other event planning organizations. Kudos to the folks at Opal Group. Bradie Speller

      Director, Global Strategy Office, Change & Transformation, UPS

      The Summit was inspirational, educational, and practical. The most valuable take-away for me was the network of leaders I had the opportunity to learn from and engage with across a myriad of industries. It was very comforting and reaffirming to hear from other leaders experiencing similar challenges and learning how handled, managed, and worked their way through them. The network I built at the Summit has already been a tremendous support system to me and others and for that, I am extremely grateful. Sui Lang L. Panoke

      Sr. Vice President, Diversity. Equity. Inclusion, Zions Bank

      The event was well beyond my expectations. The presentations and learning opportunities were fantastic. I benchmarked what our organization was doing with the other attendees and developed concepts for scoping out projects and programming for our team. The networking was phenomenal! I met other colleagues in the same profession and enjoyed the camaraderie built during the conference networking events. LynnAnn H

      Opal Group does a great job of planning and orchestrating fun yet informative HR topics for Heads of HR to come together to share best practices and plans for the future of work. Gianetta Jones
