Organizers want everyone to feel welcome at their events, but LGBTQ+ attendees face challenges that are often not understood or even addressed by the industry. From gender-neutral bathrooms to inclusive language, forward-thinking planners and venues are stepping up their efforts to welcome gender-diverse attendees and breakdown heterosexual biases. In this webinar, we’ll take a closer look at the who LGBTQ+ attendees are, what their particular needs and sensitivities are, and how their experience can inform more inclusive welcome for all attendees.
