Nashville Native and Founder of Mimconnect, Netta Dobbins, is doing it again. After a short break due to COVID, she’s bringing back Mimconnect’s In Good Company Virtual Conference and Career Fair. First launched at the top of the pandemic to help professionals of color enhance their career, more than 500 attendees were a part of that historic moment.
This year is sure be bigger and better than ever. More professionals looking for jobs in marketing, media, and tech industry are expected to attend. The conference and career fair is on Tuesday, February 21, 2023 and it starts 9:30 a.m. CST.
“In Good Company creates a virtual space for professionals of color to connect, network with companies to build truly diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environments, and hear from more advanced professionals and thought leaders to gain tips on navigating their careers,” said Netta Dobbins, Founder of Mimconnect. “I hope that In Good Company becomes one of the staple events emerging professionals attend to secure their first corporate internships, dream roles, and beyond.”
Mimconnect’s 2nd virtual conference and career fair, “In Good Company,” is presented by Intuit Mailchimp, with guidance from The White House’s Initiative on HBCUs. The conference is dedicated to advancing media, marketing, and tech professionals of color in their careers. The forum provides attendees with necessary tools needed to level up their career paths with opportunities to connect one-on-one with hiring managers, thought leaders, and executives from global companies.
More than a dozen panelists will share their journeys and insights into navigating the Media, Marketing and Tech fields and how they believe companies can prepare to build more diversity, equity, inclusivity and allyship internally.

Founded in 2016, Mimconnect began as an idea to help professionals of color in the media industry connect with one another. In two weeks of creating that group chat, over 300 professionals joined the community expressing how they were the only professionals of color in their company, were continually looked over for promotions, were having trouble navigating corporate America, and more.
After seeing how many professionals were going through the same issues, CEO Netta Dobbins realized there was an opportunity to build a platform even more impactful. Netta Dobbins is a DEI expert, entrepreneur, and strategist. She has deep experience working with C-Suite and HR teams to help build and scale more diverse and inclusive workplaces.
Today, Mimconnect is reaching thousands of professionals across the U.S.A. and focuses on helping them navigate their careers through an always-on digital community, access to job opportunities, and an invite to their annual digital conference and career fair, In Good Company.
“This collaboration will increase the knowledge, access and available resources that are disseminated to Black and Brown students, while helping eliminate those barriers that our marginalized communities encounter when entering the workforce,” says Elyse Jones, Outreach and Engagement Coordinator at the White House’s Initiative for HBCUs.
