PROGRAM CONFERENCE LITE – 9TH OCTOBER 2020
Following up on our 11 engaging LGBTI workplace webinars and our Online Symposium earlier this year, we are pleased to offer in June with participants from 40 different countries. We highlighted the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the LGBTI community in the workplace in our New Horizons summer edition and are planning for a more digital future.
Despite this progress, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our socially-focused Leadership Awards Gala for this year due to the ongoing restrictions regarding large groups of people.
However, our business focused ‘Conference Lite’ will proceed on Friday, October 9th at the Rotterdam World Trade Center as previously announced. The event, which will be both live for Workplace Pride members only and streamed to the general public, will include an afternoon of engaging speakers, and a panel session on relevant LGBTI workplace topics. Top scorers of the 2020 Global Benchmark will also be announced followed by a closing reception.
