A world-class network of like-minded peers on a mission to create a more diverse and inclusive tech ecosystem. A transformation our industry needs, and deserves. Building bridges between, across and at every intersection of tech communities. We are here to represent the business power of diversity, equity and inclusion.

Why a community?
In an industry that has historically excluded people who do not fit the norm, we believe if your identity is the exception, and you lead in tech, you are pretty exceptional. We are a community of communities that surpasses gender, skin color, sexual orientation and more, to create a new norm that not only challenges, but can actually change the status quo. 

What to expect?

We offer a safe space to connect with peers on a professional, personal, and purpose-driven level. Through co-created media, impactful events, inspiring gatherings and actionable DEI tools, we cater to tech leaders who are looking for a sense of belonging, want to elevate their identity as a superpower, and have a desire to contribute to a mission that goes beyond their individual leadership. Expect Inclusion. Expect Ambition. Expect the Exceptional.

Who is DLiT for?
We welcome all intersectional leaders in the Dutch tech sector. This community is a perfect fit for a startup founder with 10 new hires, a CxO at the helm of a 100 people scale-up and a director who is part of a 10.000 employee tech giant. And if you are a leader in academia, don’t be shy. All people who lead people and consider themselves ‘exceptional in tech’ are welcome to join. 

 

Activities
* Once a year we connect the community at a members-only summit where we set our goals for the future. 
* We host a second impact event for the broader ecosystem to share our annual research report, activate decision makers and celebrate our progress.
* During the year community members host intimate dinners and breakfast sessions for leaders to connect locally.
* And our DEI business enablement team facilitates ‘always on’ activation through our webinars, podcasts, (mentorship) programmes and partnerships.
