An unrelenting commitment to DEI

What happens when the call for representation is so loud and clear that our industries struggle to keep pace?

It becomes secondhand nature to immediately raise an eyebrow at any table that lacks a female voice.

What happens when a whole demographic is reduced to a percentage, becomes a box to tick off, or fulfils an agenda?

We refocus discussions to uphold integrity and true equity. By accepting these systems were not built for us, we stop trying to fit into them. We’re here to reshape them.

This starts with Panelle. But it ends with you.

Not only was Panelle’s platform, approach and delivery better than all the other vendors we looked at, their personal touch and attention was far superior. I have over 20 years of marketing experience; produced and executed thousands of events (in-person, simultaneous across the world, virtual) at all sizes and levels - working with Panelle was a pleasure and simple. They helped me do my job faster and smoother than any other event company/platform in my entire career. I highly recommend them.

I had a wonderful time attending the session with Panelle. The Chatham House rule made it a safe space to share with peers across industries the macro trends or systemic concerns we were all facing. We ended up coming out with great insights and new connections that I still maintain to this day.

I was fortunate to participate in a Panelle panel where we delved into the significance of a resilient and seamlessly integrated tech stack for enhancing the customer experience, the pivotal role of DEI in the realm of commerce technology, and effective strategies for mitigating bias in algorithms. The session featured excellent insights from an exceptional group of women within the industry.

As an advocate for continuous learning (yes, I am a self-proclaimed knowledge sponge), I had the privilege of participating in a panel organized by "Panelle." This event facilitated valuable interactions with remarkable female leaders from various industries and backgrounds. It broadened my understanding of topics like Cloud Security, leaving me both enlightened and inspired. The added element of fun made the learning process even more effective and enjoyable.

Working with Panelle has been wonderful. The team helps us find like-minded women who also want to springboard our success and accomplishments for the next generations. I've made some really great relationships with the women that I've that we've been meeting with outside of the actual programs, and it's been incredibly rewarding on both sides. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to get in front of these women.

What really compelled me about Panelle is that it's female driven and female focused. Panelle are walking the walk, not just talking the talk. I really wanted to be a part of this group of dynamic women and learn from them in a safe, open, honest and genuine environment. I think that's the special ingredient and chemistry that Panelle really focuses on creating. It's not an afterthought.
