A record
2,000 people are expected in the nation’s capital
next week for the seventeenth annual
Out & Equal Workplace Summit,
widely recognized as the premier
conference on LGBT workplace equality. The
Summit is expected to coincide
with a congressional vote on the Employment Non-Discrimination
Act (ENDA).
The
Workplace Summit brings together
LGBT employees, allies and diversity
professionals from the U.S. and
abroad to share best practices
and new ideas for LGBT workplace
equality.
The
three-day event will take place
at the Hilton Washington in Washington,
DC, September 27-29, 2007. Click

full event information.
Keynote speakers include: Chrissy
Gephardt, political advocate
and the first openly gay
member of
a U.S. presidential candidate’s
family; John Amaechi, the first
NBA player to ever come out publicly;
the mother-daughter team of Bernice
Johnson Reagon & Toshi Reagon,
who for years have inspired people
with their activism and music;
and Brian Graden, president of
entertainment for MTV Networks
Music Group and president of Logo.
Out & Equal
anticipates a sold-out event
this year, and only a very few
onsite registrations are available.
