  Our invited speaker, Sandra Parris, VP Talent at Mayk (a Toronto-based creative agency) will present how the job search and hiring process is being changed by those passionate about creating equitable and accessible workspaces that attract the best talent. This interactive workshop will explore the inclusivity, diversity, equity, and accessibility barriers in the hiring process, and provide practical techniques for addressing and eliminating some of them.
