WHO WE ARE:
Our team at 3D Consulting and Communications volunteers its time and efforts to producing the highest quality conference to provide tools to successfully promote diversity, increase awareness, improve cultural competency, build bridges and create networking opportunities among communities.
THE GOAL:
Assumption, suspicion, fear, and intolerance are factors that undoubtedly lead to prejudice, stereotyping, and tragedy. Today’s media focuses on what divides us as a nation. Through the Images and Perceptions Diversity Conference and training sequences, we break down barriers, clear images, and correct bias misconceptions that we as a nation tend to adopt given our informational highway which at times lacks factua l and viable substance. Via the conversation on Diversity, we have cultivated lasting relationships between entities and created bridges of understanding that have resulted in effective change within corporate America, our educational institutions and our societal environment as a whole.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
The conference engages communities to better understand diversity and provides a caliber of programming to administrators, CEO’s, media and healthcare professionals, educators, law enforcement, and government public officials, community members and students to better implement diversity strategies within their corporations, organizations and personal relationships.

Diversity, as important as it is to virtually every company these days, doesn’t a lways come easy. Sometimes it requires the kind of training an organization like 3D Consulting and Communications brings to the table. 3D specializes in customized diversity training and cultural competency programs, strategies, events and initiatives, something CEO Siham Awada Jaafar understands. One example is the “Images and Perceptions Diversity Conference,” which has just celebrated its signature 10th anniversary and has become an icon among diversity initiatives. An array of speakers effectively address diversity and create an atmosphere of change and progress for a target audience that includes media, educational, governmental, law enforcement and individuals from various professions. As they network to collaborate and produce initiatives that cross cultural barriers within their organizations, they benefit from the fact that employees who know and understand other cultures are poised to help grow sales, increase productivity and open up new markets. The diversity training sessions that 3D has designed and implemented for specific government and educational entities have created a conversation about client services as well as a renewed sense of commitment from those experiencing the training. Community outreach continues to be a priority and through the company’s extensive volunteer initiatives, 3D creates bridges that cross cultural barriers and encourage dialogue.
