WorkPride 2022: Celebrating LGBTQ+ Inclusion & Equality at Work For All

To celebrate Pride Month, WorkPride returns on 20 June with an action-packed five-day conference with experts from around the world helping to promote LGBTQ+ inclusion and equality at work for all. This year’s five-day conference, organised by myGwork boasts around 70 events, and is scheduled to take place between 20-24th June, with sessions delivered in English, as well as Spanish. 

Each year, WorkPride welcomes thousands of virtual attendees from around the globe to network, share best practices and learn strategies to help create workspaces that are inclusive of all sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions. Last year's hugely successful event last year, attracted over 20,000 delegates from around the world.

So once again, myGwork’s events featuring workshops/panels will include expansive and nuanced conversations about LGBTQ+ inclusion, mental and emotional wellbeing, allyship and career progression/business opportunities in the workplace, with global expert advice from public and private companies/organisations in practically every sector.

This year’s WorkPride will feature speakers from around the world offering great advice on on allyship (Monday 20 June), networks (Tuesday 21 June), careers (Wednesday 22 June), business (Thursday 23 June) and wellbeing (Friday 24 June); as well as tips on how to get ahead in sectors like tech, legal, finance and more. Additionally, myGwork’s virtual WorkPride conference includes diverse and ethnicity-specific panels to provide an opportunity to deep dive into different intersectional LGBTQ+ community needs and issues, covering disability, generational/age, race/culture (Latinx, South Asian, Black, etc), and more.

EY, the global professional services provider, is WorkPride’s headline event sponsor, for the third consecutive year. "EY's LGBT+ community is a strong and vibrant part of our diverse global organisation, and a beacon for D&I teams overall.
