Panel Discussion & Networking: Migrant Leadership and Innovation
Innovation is built through having a diversity of experiences.

The evening’s festivities will include a panel discussion on how to support intersectional 2SLGBTQIA+ leadership, particularly migrant leaders, followed by a lively networking reception.
We welcome everyone and work to create an environment that represents all ages, genders, sexual orientations,
nationalities, disabilities, cultures, income, sociocultural backgrounds, and ethnicities. Everyone deserves
a workplace where they can feel safe to be their true selves, because that is what creates a successful,
strong team atmosphere.”
