Concurrent Break-out Sessions Out at Work: The New Normal for LGBT+ Professionals
Julliard Complex, 5th Floor LGBT+ employees face unique barriers in the workplace – ones that may be overlooked by more traditional diversity initiatives established to support racial and gender equity. As a result, LGBT+ people remain unknown or underrepresented in the workplace, particularly in C-level roles. Join us as a dynamic panel of industry executives reflect on their personal and professional journeys of “coming out” at work, and address pervasive workplace challenges for LGBT+ professionals. The panel will also offer strategies for creating a business culture that ensures all employees have equal opportunity to contribute, thrive and advance.

Fostering ‘Intrapreneurship’ for strategic market competitiveness – WORKSHOP Julliard Complex, 5th Floor A growing number of media outlets have undergone critical shifts in organizational structure to diversify their portfolio and include innovative products and services. Retaining customers for platforms that may have suppressed long-term viability, legacy outlets are fostering innovation from within to diversify revenue and stay relevant. As technologies change, intrapreneurship can help save mission-driven organizations that have broad value to the communities they serve, attract top talent, and remain highly relevant in an ever evolving marketplace. How is your company measuring up?
