NGLCC Global LGBTI Business Week, created by the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce of the United States (NGLCC) in partnership with leaders & organizations committed to expanding global LGBTI economic opportunity, will be the first summit of its kind to converge economic, public policy, and global human rights experts with the goal of shaping a more equitable world for LGBTI people.
This dynamic, multi-day series of events will focus on sharing new thought leadership and existing best practices for global LGBTI economic development, highlighting international supplier diversity and entrepreneurship, networking and match-making among businesses and key decision makers in finance and policy, and showcasing the quantifiable equity that strong businesses give LGBTI citizens around the globe.
Premier events will take place in Washington, DC from November 14th to 18th in partnership with the governments of Argentina and Canada, along with a variety of embassies in Washington, DC. NGLCC will host high-level panel discussions and innovative activities throughout the week, augmented by events in cities across the globe hosted by NGLCC's network of international affiliate chambers, culminating in the 2016 NGLCC National Dinner Awards Gala on Friday, November 18.
