Insights from Dreamin’ In Color 2024
On June 19, 2024, Attain Partners proudly sponsored the 2024 Dreamin’ In Color conference in New Orleans, LA. This event, which began on Juneteenth, highlighted the holiday’s celebration of freedom and underscored the conference’s mission to empower and uplift Black professionals. Held in a city known for its vibrant Black history and culture, Dreamin’ In Color provided an inspiring backdrop for advancing the careers of Black, Latinx, and Hispanic professionals and people of color within the Salesforce ecosystem.
At Attain Partners, we are steadfast champions for Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Allyship (IDEA). We recognize the profound significance of fostering an environment where every team member feels valued and empowered to excel and contribute their unique perspectives. Our IDEA Program, endorsed by our Executive Committee and supported by our entire team, elevates the sense of belonging within our organization by embracing diverse experiences and providing safe spaces for all.
We believe that diverse teams inspire innovation and inclusive environments fuel creativity. Sponsoring Dreamin’ In Color is a reflection of our commitment to these principles, walking the walk when it comes to our dedication to supporting and uplifting diverse voices in the tech industry.
Inclusive Environments Fuel Creativity
Dreamin’ In Color 2024 brought together a vibrant community of talented, driven, and inspirational individuals. The conference provided a platform for sharing stories, exchanging ideas, and building connections. This year’s conference was particularly special, kicking off with a lively Second Line parade at the welcome event, which beautifully tied in the culture of New Orleans. Additionally, the inclusion of the Latinx and Hispanic community through Soñando En Color highlighted the event’s growing inclusivity and impact.
The connections and insights gained from Dreamin’ In Color 2024 will continue to influence our work at Attain Partners. We are dedicated to fostering environments where diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) are not just goals but fundamental principles that drive success.
