Pride Month may be over but pride should be celebrated year-round. In this upcoming Q Chamber event, we put the spotlight on how inclusive brands show their support for the LGBTQ+ community, which goes beyond changing their corporate logos to rainbow hues for the month of June.

As part of this event’s programme, we will feature a panel discussion with speakers from Coqual, LEGO, P&G and Revolut who will share their experience on why LGBTQ-inclusive marketing is important to brands and how authenticity is essential in their stance of supporting the LGBTQ community.

We are also pleased to welcome Gina Chua, a Singaporean who is one of the most senior transgender journalists in the world, as our keynote speaker. Gina will share her personal coming out journey and her views on why visibility and narratives matter in our community.

Mark your calendars for 19 July 2023 (Wednesday) from 6:30 pm to 9 pm. Light bites and beverages will be provided. Attendance is limited to invited guests only due to event space capacity.
