Challenge Accepted: Built to Include
Good work reaches people. Great work includes them.
Overview:
Who’s missing?
In today’s marketing landscape, the most effective work doesn’t just reach audiences—it’s intentionally designed to include them.
Challenge Accepted: Built to Include brings together agencies and marketing leaders to share how they are expanding the frame by integrating diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility into the work from the very beginning.
Through a series of real-world case studies, this event offers a transparent look at what it takes to create marketing that connects more broadly, resonates more deeply and performs more effectively.
Featured Speakers and Case Studies:
• Hurrdat: Elevating high school girls’ sports and expanding visibility
Ravi Lulla, Business Operation Manager at Hurrdat
• Wheelhouse Collective: Designing for access with Omaha Public Library’s mobile library
Cathy Solarana, Creative Director at Wheelhouse Collective
• Clark Creative Group: Building DEI and accessibility into strategy

What You’ll Gain:
• A clearer perspective on who your work is, and isn’t reaching
• Practical examples of inclusive, accessible marketing in action
• Insights you can apply immediately to your own strategy and execution

Advertising, marketing, and PR professionals, business leaders and students looking to create more effective, inclusive work.
