About the Program

The DEI landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and 2026 has already brought a number of significant developments that employers should be monitoring closely. Federal executive actions, enforcement priorities, litigation trends, and growing external pressures are creating new challenges and opportunities for organizations seeking to maintain effective workplace inclusion initiatives while managing legal risk.

Join Seyfarth for an important update on the latest developments shaping the DEI landscape and what they may mean for employers heading into 2027. Our speakers will discuss key legal and regulatory trends, offer practical perspectives on risk assessment and program design, and share strategies for navigating a constantly changing environment while supporting equal employment opportunity and inclusion objectives.

Topics will include:

Recent federal executive actions and enforcement signals affecting workplace DEI initiatives
Key legal, regulatory, and market forces reshaping the DEI landscape
EEOC activity, litigation developments, and emerging compliance considerations
Increasing areas of risk and employer priorities heading into 2027
Practical frameworks for evaluating DEI-related programs and initiatives
