Vote NOW in SXSW 2023’s PanelPicker!

The SXSW 2023 panel submissions are in, and it’s time to cast your votes and help shape the schedule for next year’s conference. We need your help to make Ottobock’s presentation submission a reality at the 2023 festival! Now through August 21, visit the PanelPicker website to vote and help us share our mission with other innovators, experts, and advocates to spark important conversations in our industry and beyond.

Presentation submission: DE&I is the Afterthought of the Corporate World
While many companies have committed to supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) initiatives, few have the know-how or resources to fully execute a comprehensive plan and vision. In the interim period until a full-time Chief Diversity Officer and supporting staff are hired, DE&I efforts can be spearheaded via a grassroots approach. We want to share the path that we took at Ottobock in creating and developing our DE&I Council to be the resource for others that we did not have during this process. Learn from our successes, failures, and how we overcame many obstacles in our journey so that you will leave our session with a clear roadmap of how you can develop your own DE&I Council.
