About this Event
Event Description:

Join dsm for our 3rd annual Inclusion event, an upbeat, fast-paced look at where some of Des Moines’ movers and shakers go to experience the best of our city’s diverse arts, culture, food and dining scenes. Business Publications Corporation president Suzanna de Baca and guest hosts ask local leaders and influencers what makes Des Moines special and how they foster an inclusive community by supporting diverse cultural offerings.

If you’re looking for ideas on how to support inclusion and want to mix and mingle with area leaders from a wide variety of communities, join us for this lively and interactive talk show-style panel and reception on the best of diverse Des Moines.
