Tuesday, March 25, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM EDT – this is a free online networking event for trans, non-binary and agender people.

Pride at Work Canada is proud to present Matrices: Trans, Non-Binary & Agender Digital Connect, a free online networking event for trans, non-binary, and agender professionals and jobseekers! We will bring trans, non-binary, and agender professionals from across Canada.

In this session, we will explore a peer networking style of learning, where attendees will dive into meaningful discussions, share experiences, and offer mutual support. Participants will engage in multiple breakout sessions, while forging valuable connections with other professionals and job seekers. Following these individual interactions, we will come together as a group to reflect on the insights gained and close the event with a collaborative wrap-up.

Help us make Matrices a safer event! All attendees will be provided with a set of community guidelines for this event that they will be expected to read and abide by. Pride at Work Canada staff will be present in the main room at all times and volunteer facilitators will be rotating within some of the 1-1 speed networking rounds. Creating a welcoming space is a communal effort, we look forward to building a braver space based in communicating with compassion.

Captioning: At this event, there will be live captioning in English, and automated French captioning only available upon request two weeks previous to the event.

Why is this event taking place?

While many events and networks are inclusive of trans, non-binary and agender people there are questions and discussions unique to these community members and their experiences. Pride at Work Canada seeks to create space for professional and job-seeking trans, non-binary and agender people to find support from and make connections with one another. We hope to be responsive to the needs and suggestions expressed by our attendees as this feedback helps to shape future events.

Who should attend?

The purpose of this event is to provide space for folks who identify as trans, non-binary and agender. There is no desire to monitor anyone’s gender or create barriers to entry. If you come to this event you will be welcome. While the support of people who identify as allies to trans people and communities is always appreciated please remember that the best support sometimes comes in the form of leaving space for people to connect around their shared identities and lived experiences.
