2024 Out & Equal Southern States Forum - Stronger Together: Advancing LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion and Belonging in the American South
June 6, 2024 @ 8:00 am - 4:00 pm EDT

Join Out & Equal as we host our annual Southern States Forum. This preeminent event highlights the unique challenges and opportunities facing the LGBTQ+ community in the American South and brings together the leaders, practitioners, and changemakers working to advance LGBTQ+ workplace equity and inclusion.
Across the American South, businesses are grappling with both challenges and opportunities in creating workplaces of true belonging for LGBTQ+ employees and leaders. The LGBTQ+ community in the American South is more racially diverse, more religious, and make up more LGBTQ+-headed households than any other part of the country. Workplaces of belonging capitalize on the unique identities and life experiences of employees to strengthen their own innovation, team cohesion, and productivity.
This daylong program unites professionals from across the region and industries to surface powerful blueprints for advancing inclusion, effective engagement across lines of difference and intersectionality, and leaves participants with a new network of committed peers in this space, tools for strengthening their businesses, and powerful storytelling from leading workplace changemakers.
