EMBRACE AUTHENTICITY & INCLUSION AT LGBTIQA+ LEADERSHIP SUMMIT 2024
As we gather for LGBTIQA+ Leadership Summit 2024 in Sydney, we celebrate the strides made towards inclusion while acknowledging the work that lies ahead. This summit aims to foster leadership that embraces authenticity, inclusivity, and resilience.
The Current Landscape
LGBTIQA+ individuals face significant challenges in the workplace and broader society. 39% of LGBTIQ+ workers have experienced discrimination or harassment at work. LGBTIQA+ employees are also twice as likely to be victims of workplace discrimination compared to their non-LGBTIQA+ colleagues.
Despite these challenges, there is growing recognition of the value the LGBTIQA+ community brings to leadership. Companies with inclusive cultures not only perform better but also foster environments where all employees can thrive
The Mission
At this summit, you have access to thought leaders, advocates, and trailblazers to share their experiences and strategies for creating inclusive and equitable workplaces.

- Workshops and Panels: Participate in dynamic sessions that provide actionable strategies and practical tools to promote inclusion and equity in your workplace.

Our goal is to equip you with the tools and inspiration needed to drive meaningful change. By developing leadership skills and resilience, we aim to create a legacy of impactful leadership that supports the LGBTIQA+ community across all sectors.
