LGBTQ+ Conference Hits All The Right Notes and Inspires
Next Event
Employers, LGBTQ+ allies and the community as a whole are celebrating following the complete success of the inaugural This Is Us conference. The landmark event was held at Kents Hill Training and Conference Centre in Milton Keynes on Thursday 4th October, featuring a number of nationally renowned speakers and a hall of delighted delegates.
The conference was designed by Meena Chander, CEO of Events Together, who identified that LGBTQ+ inclusivity in the workplace was a real issue that needed to be tackled head on. She said: "I'm so pleased that the conference went as well as it did: all of the speakers were completely on message and hammered home some really important points to the delegates. I learned a lot and met some absolutely fascinating people - I can't wait to do it all again!"
The event, which also included a series of focused learning labs, attracted delegates from businesses all over the UK, all of whom were committed to developing their in-house diversity and inclusion policies and procedures. Feedback from the event has been very positive, with one delegate saying "I absolutely loved that speakers sessions were short and timely and the lab session worked really well - Claire Harvey in particular was phenomenal." The event's guest speakers were also keen to compliment the event, with Dr. Luke Fletcher saying "It was very interesting to hear other people's perspectives and life stories and for me it was really about engaging in important conversations"
The overwhelming success of the conference has spurred Meena on to the next event, which is being held in Cambridge in May 2019.

Meena concludes: "Everything moves so fast in this sector - from legislation, to trends and themes and societal views... We can't wait a year before we re-address this important subject, so I'm delighted to announce that we're working hard towards the next event in April.
