About this Event
Now in its third year, Outvertising Live will arm forward-thinking marketers with the evidence, tools, inspiration and confidence to build a path to more frequent and more authentic LGBTQIA+ inclusive campaigns.
Our flagship afternoon conference on Thursday 21st November includes impactful keynotes, presentations and panels discussing best-in class LGBTQIA+-centred work and actions to take to improve inclusion, with notable industry figures and emerging queer talent at the helm of the conversations.
Hosted at Meta's Brock Street HQ, you'll also get the chance to network with 200 marketers who together are shaping a more inclusive industry now and for the future. Join us - queer people and allies alike - in celebrating LGBTQIA+ inclusive advertising and marketing and championing authenticity through adversity.
