How do companies embrace challenging conversations to build a culture of belonging, inclusion and diversity? It’s what led PMG to ‘DIG In’ to difficult topics by inviting others in to inspire and influence how we view the world and the impact we make through our business, interactions, and work. One of those speakers, disability advocate Spencer West, opened our eyes to the 61 million adults in the U.S. living with a disability and common misperceptions about their ability to contribute and thrive in today’s workforce. Join PMG’s Cynthia De La Torre Castro and Spencer—who lost both legs at the age of 5 and still climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro—in a conversation about how we can embrace the bigger ‘IDEA’ (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility) driving innovation in business today.

After years of relying on digital to stay connected during the pandemic, Millennials and GenZ are craving more ‘IRL’ connection and experiences. Their priorities have shifted—85% said our current system of capitalism and materialism is unfulfilling, and 88% reported they trust their instincts over institutions. 

These cultural shifts represent a decentralized frontier for brands and companies looking to form meaningful connections with a new generational mindset focused on equity, community, and multiculturalism. We will go to the heart of this conversation, sharing the results of a new custom study of GenZs and Millennials unveiled exclusively at SXSW to uncover how the future of community and human connection is evolving and changing how people engage with the world around them.

This panel discussion will feature speakers from PMG and BDG, including:

Angela Seits, Head of Strategic Planning and Insights at PMG

Shelina Taki, Director of Strategic Planning and Insights at PMG

Jason Wagenheim, President and Chief Revenue Office of BDG

Tiffany Reid, Senior Vice President of Fashion at BDG
