On March 13, 2021, PACE, IAC, ACF, and NAQT cosponsored a panel discussion on diversity, equity, and inclusion in quizbowl. The announcement billed the panel as "a platform for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) voices to discuss the state of quizbowl, share their experiences, and raise awareness among community members and leaders. Most of all, we hope to spark community action during and after the event."
The #panel-discussion channel of the Quizbowl Discord is dedicated to discussion of the panel.
