Clarion Events DEIB Logo

We are an organization that embraces creativity, diversity, and inclusion for our employees, our customers, and our business partners. 

We at Clarion Events Inc. believe that diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are fundamental to making us a successful and vibrant organization. What we aim to do is to put inclusion and belonging at the heart of everything we do. We have made strides (and continue to make strides) to attract, develop, and retain a diverse workforce that reflects the diverse communities and markets we serve. In the end, a supportive environment for our employees where everyone is treated equitably and with respect is our goal. We have zero-tolerance for discrimination of any kind whether it pertains to our employees or our customers - events are for all, and we intended to make sure of that with our DEIB initiatives & programming.

At our shows

At Clarion Events Inc. we do not just want to talk about diversity, but be an active participant in the change that comes from putting forth diverse programs. At all of our shows, we host a variety of different programing around the ideas of diversity, equity, & inclusion, and how those concepts bring about positive change in our customer markets. Most recently we have had:

As we continue to grow, we look to add even more diverse programming that highlights the contributions and successes our customers from marginalized communities have had, and how those successes translate into a better industry for everyone.

Among ourselves

Clarion Events Inc. has always been one to lead by example. Our stance is not to be satisfied with the status quo but always strive for more diversity, representation, and equity within our company. To this end, we arrange various events for our staff highlighting important topics such as:

  • Black History Month Interactive Advent Calendar
  • Lunch & Learn with Female Senior Leaders for Women's History Month
  • Lunch & Learn - Remembering the Events of 9/11
  • Virtual Panel - "Being LGBTQ+ Inclusive: What Can I Actually Do"
  • Affiliate Summit Team (celebrating its support to all of our LGBTQIA+ employees, customers, and partners) donating to the Trevor Project for Pride Month 2022

Informational newsletters and interactive activities also help to educate our teams and maintain a sense of awareness & knowledge about various topics and dates. Reaching for a more diverse, equitable, and representative workplace is our goal - and giving our employees the opportunity to learn about a variety of different communities will help us get there.
