This year’s WorkPride, the sixth annual virtual global conference hosted by mGwork, will take place from 16-20 June. The free global event is themed “Your Allyship Journey Starts Here” and aims to equip individuals and organisations with the tools to create truly inclusive workplaces.
This comes at a time when LGBTQIA+ workplace rights are of great concern, with tightening DEI regulations in the US and the UK Supreme Court’s recent ruling. In response, myGwork, the largest talent platform and network for LGBTQIA+ professionals, is highlighting the urgent need for meaningful allyship in the face of continued threats towards workplace equality.
MyGwork’s recent research shows that 80% of LGBTQIA+ Gen Z professionals avoid companies that have withdrawn support for inclusion, while the same proportion says that they are more likely to accept a job offer where LGBTQIA+ role models and allies are visible.
“Allyship is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s a business imperative,” said myGwork Co-Founders Adrien and Pierre Gaubert. “WorkPride 2025 is the go-to global platform for allies and leaders to engage in meaningful dialogue, sharpen their inclusion strategies, and build truly inclusive workplaces.”
With 40+ sessions and 200+ speakers across the five days, WorkPride 2025 will cover topics such as inclusive leadership, mental health, intersectionality, and the Rainbow Wage Gap. Attendees who join five or more sessions will receive a Certificate in LGBTQIA+ Inclusion.
With sessions offered in both English and Spanish, WorkPride 2025 is open to all, from LGBTQIA+ professionals, to allies, HR leaders, DEI advocates, and anyone committed to workplace equality.
You can register for the event on the mGwork website.
