A record 2,000 people are expected in the nation’s capital next week for the seventeenth annual Out & Equal Workplace Summit, widely recognized as the premier conference on LGBT workplace equality. The Summit is expected to coincide with a congressional vote on the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA).
The
Workplace Summit brings together
LGBT employees, allies and diversity
professionals from the U.S. and
abroad to share best practices
and new ideas for LGBT workplace
equality.
The three-day event will take place at the Hilton Washington in Washington, D.C., September 27-29, 2007.
Keynote speakers include: Chrissy
Gephardt, political advocate
and the first openly gay
member of
a U.S. presidential candidate’s
family; John Amaechi, the first
NBA player to ever come out publicly;
the mother-daughter team of Bernice
Johnson Reagon & Toshi Reagon,
who for years have inspired people
with their activism and music;
and Brian Graden, president of
entertainment for MTV Networks
Music Group and president of Logo.
Out & Equal anticipates a sold-out event this year, and only a very few onsite registrations are available.
