Update:
DIRC:Merit+Inclusion
will not take place in 2026
The Merit & Inclusion Research Conference
We are sorry to announce that, after eight years as the premier forum for bridging rigorous research and real-world application, we have decided not to hold DIRC in 2026, due to our inability to secure sponsors to continue supporting our mission.
If you are interested in how to leverage meritocracy and inclusion to create superior financial outcomes, please explore our team’s 2026 book, Meritocracy, or reach out to Aleria.
We want to thank all members of the DIRC community for their enthusiastic support, and hope to be able to host DIRC again in the future.
Show your support for true meritocracy and inclusion for all!
If your organization is committed to advancing success through research, data, and intentional action, DIRC25 is the place to be. Join us as we build the future of inclusion and merit. Visit our sponsorships and partnerships pages to learn more about different opportunities to be a part of ensuring the success of this important event and to gain visibility with our community.
