LGBTQ+ Speakers

Pride Month is fast approaching once again! As we head towards June 2025, it’s time to remind ourselves where we are with diversity and acceptance and to ensure that we don’t fall back into old habits.

Organisations and individuals continue to fight for diversity acceptance all year round, not just during the dedicated times of the year (Pride Month, LGBT+ History Month, Transgender Awareness Week etc.). The hard work that goes into building acceptance must be recognised and celebrated!

As it's up to individuals to combat discrimination, we truly believe in the power of audience education to make change. It's vital that corporations jump on this bandwagon to not only help themselves gain a deeper understanding, but to learn how they can become more accepting places of work for current and future employees.

How LGBTQ+ Speakers Can Inspire Change

LGBTQ+ speakers are valuable figures in the fight for global equality. Their fight through adversity and discrimination on their journey to self-acceptance makes for not only inspirational keynotes, but also fantastic stories of triumph that leaves audiences feeling motivated to make a positive difference moving forward.

Incredible storytellers who present the power of education and inclusion, our brilliant LGBTQ+ speakers share their truly unique experiences to make society a more diverse and inclusive space for all.
