To bridge academia and industry, the Digital Business Management program has teamed up with The Toronto WordPress Group to introduce the Diverse Speaker Series. This student-led initiative aims to foster discussions on a wide array of business and technology topics, moderated by Humber students and featuring industry experts and alumni.

What sets this series apart is its collaborative nature, bringing together students from various disciplines to coordinate and moderate virtual discussions and ensuring a multifaceted range of perspectives. The Winter 2024 lineup encompasses diverse subjects such as cybersecurity, digital marketing, content strategies, WordPress tutorials, AI, and other cutting-edge themes, providing an invaluable platform for students to engage with industry leaders and stay informed on the latest trends in business and technology.

Participation in the Diverse Speaker Series promises to be a mutually beneficial endeavour for students and professionals alike. This initiative provides a welcoming and dynamic space for interaction and knowledge exchange. For students, it offers direct access to industry experts, opportunities to foster connections, insights into diverse sectors, and the opportunity to develop their virtual event management skills. Meanwhile, industry experts have the chance to engage with emerging talent, tapping into their creativity, diverse skill sets, and fresh perspectives.
