2025 Southern States Forum: Charlotte Building Belonging in the South: Together Forward 

June 16 @ 2:00 pm 7:00 pm America/North Carolina

As part of an expanded lineup of regional impact programs, Out & Equal’s 2025 Southern States Forum series begins in Charlotte. Southern States Forum programs build on our commitment to creating workplaces of true belonging for LGBTQ+ employees across the Southern United States. 

In today’s challenging environment, where policy efforts and rhetoric targeting the LGBTQ+ community continue to intensify, our Southern States Forum provides an essential space for: 

  • Connecting ERG/BRG leaders and inclusion practitioners 
  • Sharing region-specific strategies for workplace belonging 
  • Building resilient professional, executive, and ally networks 

Join fellow change-makers from across the South as together we navigate the unique challenges and opportunities of advancing LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion.  

Our Charlotte event will feature tailored learning exercises, networking opportunities, and expert-led sessions designed specifically for the challenges being faced in region today. 

Together, forward, now – we continue building the Business of Belonging across the South.
