How GoDaddy Is Thinking About DEI in 2027

A Fireside Chat with Christy Lias
What They’re Betting On, What They’re Changing, and What Comes Next

Tuesday, October 20 at 12 PM ET

The role of a DEI leader keeps changing. New expectations and emerging technologies are reshaping the demands of the job, and as we head into 2027, it’s a chance to take stock: What have the past few years taught us, and what should we carry forward?

Join Heather Glen, Head of HR at Assemble, for a live fireside chat with Kristy Lilas, Head of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging at GoDaddy, as she shares what she’s learned leading DEI for a global tech brand, how she’s navigating this evolving landscape, and what’s informing her strategy today.

Use the conversation to benchmark your thinking, pressure-test your priorities, and hear how a fellow DEI leader is approaching the decisions ahead.

What we’ll cover:

  • How expectations of DEI leaders and their teams are evolving
  • What deserves greater focus as leaders set their priorities for 2027
  • Where AI and emerging technologies could create new opportunities
  • What to carry forward and what to leave behind heading into the new year
