A few years ago, a small group of queer privacy professionals dreamed of transforming conference after-parties into something more inclusive and impactful. Their vision was to unite the community, celebrate our profession's inclusive nature, and make a tangible difference for marginalized groups. This dream has flourished over the past five years, with our LGBTQ + Allies After Parties becoming the most anticipated events of the conference calendar.
​
Our previous five events have been a tremendous success, each bringing together up to 30 sponsors from various sectors, including law firms, tech companies, and startups. These sponsors have prominently shown their support for community and inclusivity, helping to create a fun and professional environment where everyone can be themselves. Importantly, these events have raised nearly $700,000 in net proceeds, benefiting our national non-profit LGBT Tech and similar local charities.
​
Thank you to all of our sponsors, talent, vendors and patrons. Your ongoing support throughout the year has made this event truly exceptional!
