Join us as we discuss the unique challenges and barriers that LGBTQ+ individuals face in the tech industry, including discrimination, bias, and lack of representation. Let's dig into inclusive hiring practices, workplace culture, allyship and advocacy, and intersectionality with other marginalized identities such as race, gender, and disability.

We'll ask our panel of speakers to talk about the importance of fostering an inclusive workplace culture where LGBTQ+ employees feel safe, valued, and supported and have them share their success stories of how they overcame challenges and achieved significant milestones in their careers.

We'll also highlight the role of allies in supporting LGBTQ+ colleagues and advocating for their rights within the organization. and explore the role of mentorship in supporting the career growth of LGBTQ+ professionals in tech.

This session seeks to highlight the importance of building and participating in LGBTQ+ tech communities and extending our networks for support and professional development. Come and network with your LGBTQ+ community and allies.
