Diversity of Thought:

Embrace Differences, Eliminate Biases and Build Community

Join ARA for our kick-off event of the year where together with sponsor McDonald’s and host Google, we explore Diversity of Thought, the “more-than-one-way” philosophy. Diversity of Thought is gaining momentum as companies realize that people from multiple generations and diverse cultural and educational backgrounds can work together and leverage their different experiences, perspectives and thought processes for better team and business performance and a stronger, more unified sense of community.


A Diversity of Thought approach, along with efforts to recognize and eliminate unconscious biases, results in improved innovation, creativity and problem solving. And, organizations that align their Diversity and Inclusion programs to business objectives, such as improved team performance, tend to have better engaged and happier employees.


We hope you’ll join us in welcoming sponsor McDonald’s to the West Loop during a not-to-be-missed evening of important conversations with executives ready to share take-action steps for you to break these barriers of bias and impact real change across all facets of your life.

Sign up for the waitlist.

As part of the registration process, you’ll notice a few extra questions that will help us create a digital smartbadge for you. The badge will activate when you are standing near someone you have something in common with -- and you will see your initials illuminated on their badge so that you know who they are.
