We are living in unpredictable times.

Progress in countries traditionally leading the charge on LGBT equality and inclusion can no longer be taken for granted. The basic human rights of LGBT individuals in many countries are, at best, not recognised and, at worst, legally non-existent.

TALK IS CHEAP – IT’S TIME TO ACT

Join us at Pride and Prejudice on May 24th, 2018 to draw lessons from the experiences of individuals, businesses and governments across the world and translate them into recommendations.

Hear from some of the most influential business decision-makers, government policy-makers, and innovative thinkers from across the globe, discussing an unbiased, content-driven and business-oriented agenda. Connect and network with over 200 leaders from the worlds of business, politics and society to address LGBT business issues head-on and bring the debate forward.
