Solution

Technology-Enabled Design

L+R began its efforts by consulting with the ELC Inclusion and Diversity team for their annual global summit. The company designed a platform, the main touchpoint for attendees during the summit.

Impact

Leading Edge

Launched during ELC’s Inclusion Diversity Summit hosted in New York City, this platform served high-level executives from around the world. As a result of its focus on inclusion and diversity, ELC was selected for the 2019 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index. Only 230 companies were chosen to be part of the GEI, which recognizes leaders in gender reporting in the workplace.

The Bottom Line

The ELC Inclusion and Diversity Summit required a digital experience that could support programming, participation, and organizational purpose. For many businesses, the challenge is turning important moments into systems people can actually use. At L+R, competitive advantage comes from the deliberate intersection of strategy, design, engineering, and craft, with AI treated as a useful collaborator when it serves the problem. If your initiative needs more than an event page, our team can help define the path.
