Join Glean Pride’s special panel event to discover insights on LGBTQ+ inclusion within the workspace.
We’ll be joined by four highly prominent speakers across the Leeds Tech scene who will be chatting about their insights and experiences around being part of the community and the key role they’re playing in fostering LGBTQ+ inclusion within the workspace.
Our panelists will be leading an engaging discussion centred on the challenges, best practises, advice plus what their visions are for the future of LGBTQ+ diversity in tech.
Whether you identify as LGBTQ+ or an ally, if you’re passionate about building more diverse, equitable, and inclusive tech communities, come join us for an inspiring evening. Let’s keep the Pride spirit going and work together to create positive change.
