The Western Region’s premiere business conference highlighting diversity in tech, entertainment, and entrepreneurship….
As the job market is becoming increasingly competitive, local non-profit creates a solution for students and professional to get their foot in the door. The Western Regional Diversity Conference 2017, appropriately nicknamed The Diversity Conference or WRDC is a 2-day conference that highlights workplace diversity and inclusion. With expectations of over 500 attendees, WRDC has constructed an impressive agenda that includes an experiential case study competition, business pitch competition, over 30 panels and workshops, networking parties, and a tech exhibit and career fair utilizing Bluetooth Beacons for a more interactive experience.
Through October 26th-27th, WRDC has invited college students and professionals throughout California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Washington, Oregon & Colorado to attend this event. Hosted at the beautiful California Center for the Arts in the Greater San Diego Area, attendees will have the opportunity to network with investors, government and corporate contractors, fortune 500 companies and small business, student and professional associations, and other groups who believe that diversity and inclusion are key to building sustainable communities.
“I wanted to build an event that attendees can walk away from and become inspired and motivated,” says project director Elizabeth Cotton. “People’s’ differences can be seen as an advantage, whether they are climbing corporate America or striving to be an entrepreneur.”
This year WRDC will focus on three tracks that include Diversity in Tech, Entertainment, and Entrepreneurship. WRDC has secured over 50 inspirational guest speakers including John Cabeca, the Director of the US Patent & Trademark Office for Silicon Valley, Ashok Kamal, the Executive Director for Tech Coast Angels, Jace Hall, the Co-Owner of E-Sports Powerhouse Team Echo Fox, and Frankie Ingrassia, Actress and Pit Producer for Coachella, just to name a few!

* Participate in a guided yoga session with certified yoga instructor, and owner of Roots Up Yoga Flow, Debra Brooks.
*In the “Visual Love Corner”, paint peaceful healing art to take home with you, guided by gifted painter and muralist Kim Phillips; Learn to tie waist beads (the ultimate self-love gift that keeps on giving, 24/7/365), and get your own pair from the Motherland (!); while supplies last, visual art available for $10 per piece.
*Hear about our inaugural SISTERcircle Global Black Women’s Conference and community luncheon held November 2017 in GHANA; sign up to join the 2019 trip to Ghana.
*Enjoy positive vibes with positive people and love yo’ self!
