MOXIECON 2025 – North America
WELCOME
The 2025 BRG & MOXIE Leadership Development Summit
When: Tuesday, April 29, 2025
Where: Charleston, South Carolina
Location: Hyatt House Charleston Historic District
THE SUMMIT WILL BE IN-PERSON AND WILL NOT BE LIVE-STREAMED OR VIDEO-RECORDED FOR PLAYBACK.
DEI Executive Orders and their Impact on BRGs
Some employers are concerned about the legality of employee resource groups (ERGs) in light of recent DEI related executive orders.
It has been a best practice for quite some time to allow these groups to be open to all employees no matter the specific area of focus. Doing so has provided for better understanding of each others issues, resulting in improved relations, engagement, and bottom line impact. This includes disability and veteran ergs.
This summit will address issues and solutions to ensuring your BRG can prove open membership, Remain mission focused, provide leadership development, etc., all in a non-discriminatory, compliant way.
Topics will include but not be limited to:
- How we set the stage and enforce discussions and engagement that promote the core principles of a respectful and professional workplace.
- How to focus on shared experiences and intersectionality.
BRGs have always served to help solve business problems and improve business impact. If handled correctly, these benefits will remain intact. Strategizing together at this Summit, we will ensure both compliance and success.

DAY 2
CODY CLARK
Cody Clark is a 31 year old professional magician/autistic self-advocate from Louisville, KY. He was diagnosed with autism at 15 months of age and his parents were warned he’d never walk, talk, hold down jobs, or tell them he loved them. His parents’ tenacity combined with therapy services received from autism specialists and at schools allowed him to surpass all expectations!
He shares his magic shows and talks for audiences ranging from public library patrons, K-12 students, college students, educators, and corporate employees how autism makes him see the world differently and that he and others with autism have similar life goals and desires as anyone else. His favorite type of audience however, is when he gets to help others with disabilities become successful adults. His mission is to help people realize that differences like autism are nothing to be scared of – but rather a different way of thinking.
His past clients include major universities like University of Kentucky and Ohio State University, corporations like Energizer Batteries and Delta Faucet Company, and he’s even testified for the U.S. House of Representatives Small Business Committee! He can be found at codyclarkmagic.com or on social media as @codyclarkmagic.
