NEW FOR 2026: FLEXIBLE ATTENDANCE
We heard your feedback, and this year we are introducing greater flexibility for organizations attending the Diverse Voices Conference. Many teams told us they wanted the ability to share conference access across staff members, and we’re excited to make that possible.
For the 2026 conference, organizations can split a conference pass across multiple attendees. When purchasing your pass, you will be able to designate a different attendee for each day of the conference if needed.
Attendee details for each day can be entered during checkout, making it easy for organizations to share access across team members while ensuring one attendee per day per pass. This new option allows more professionals within your organization to participate, learn, and bring valuable knowledge back to your team.
