Global EmERGe: ERGs Defined by Change
Fueling Culture, Agility, and Future-Ready Leadership
Join us in London, UK – or virtually – for a day of learning and connecting with your peers!
Join Us for This Premier ERG Event
Seramount’s third annual Global EmERGe Conference is a unique international event dedicated to supporting Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) both domestically and globally. Seramount has been hosting conferences focused on ERGs for over 15 years, including its flagship U.S. EmERGe conference.
Global EmERGe is designed for global ERG leaders, group members and program leads to learn from case studies, best practices, open dialogue, and peer-to-peer learning.
This year’s conference will feature a dynamic keynote, seasoned inclusion leaders, and our own team of dedicated ERG experts that will offer insights on how to balance global initiatives with diverse cultural landscapes. Chief Diversity Officers, executive leaders and sponsors are encouraged to join their respective ERG leaders to build a stronger rapport and seize the opportunity to learn about some of the most pressing issues their global ERGs are working through in this moment.
During a period of profound global change, explore what the most effective ERGs of the future will look like and how to get there. Discover how ERGs can be created and deepen belonging, drive inclusion, and advance financial success. Learn more about aligning ERGs to larger organizational strategy, leveraging metrics to drive impact, and making ERGs essential to the bottom line.
Whether attending in-person or virtually, participants will gain new perspectives and innovative strategies that will contribute to the continued success of their Global ERGs—and receive a seat in an ERG Leader Certification cohort.
