LGBT MPA will be attending PCMA Convening Leaders for the sixth year! This year, we will be presenting an education session, Gender's Impact on the Business Event Industry on Monday, January 9th at 11AM!

During this conversation, a gender-diverse panel of business event strategists will share their stories and insights into their professional experiences. The panelists will also discuss the range of current challenges and barriers that members of the transgender community have and continue to face when booking and attending events.

Learn to: understand the experiences of gender-diverse populations as they relate to the business events industry, gain awareness of existing and future implications regarding transgender issues and business events, and identify opportunities and methods to make events safer and more inclusive for transgender, nonbinary and gender-expansive participants.
