OCTOBER 12–15, 2026 | SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
Workplace Summit
The world of work is under real pressure. Shifting policies, historic lows in employee engagement, and rapid AI transformation are reshaping what it means to lead, and what it costs to get it wrong.
Workplace Summit is where 4,000+ of the most committed professionals in LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion come together to meet that pressure alongside the people who understand this work because they’re doing it too. Four days of practical strategies, honest conversations, and a community that doesn’t just inspire you; it sustains you long after you leave Seattle.
This is where the work gets done and where the people doing it find each other.
