Dr. Debonair Oates-Primus

From west Philadelphia, born and raised, working with venues is how she spends most of her days. Join us for a discussion with Dr. Debonair Oates-Primus, VP of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Oak View Group. Hear about the work Dr. Deb is doing with OVG – working with venues to track diversity within their organization and with the businesses they work with, and then identifying opportunities for growth and equitable change. She tells us about the “ah ha” and “ouch” moments companies experience, how change comes from admitting there is room for growth, and how admitting privilege and understanding unconscious bias are important steps to make your business more inclusive. Hear about her personal experience in this role and through her career, and what tips she has for venues and people in industry looking to make changes. Enjoy this refreshing, honest, conversation about how to change the culture of the industry, and businesses in general, and make them more equitable and inclusive in the future.Dr. Debonair Oates-Primus: Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | EmailOak View Group: Facebook | Twitter | Instagram ––––––ADVENTURES IN VENUELANDFollow on Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, or X/TwitterLearn more about Event & Venue Marketing ConferenceMeet our team:Paul Hooper | Co-host, Booking, Branding & MarketingDave Redelberger | Co-host & Guest ResearchMegan Ebeck | Marketing, Design & Digital AdvertisingSamantha Marker | Marketing, Copywriting & PublicityCamille Faulkner | Audio Editing & MixingHave a suggestion for a guest or bonus episode?
