Event Overview

Out & Equal is bringing the 2027 APAC LGBTQ+ Workplace Inclusion Forum back to Manila this February, in partnership with the Philippine Financial & Inter-Industry Pride (PFIP) and sponsored by JPMorganChase. This half-day, in-person convening brings together senior leaders, inclusion practitioners, ERG champions, and decision-makers from across Asia-Pacific.

Building on the momentum of our 2026 Symposium, this year’s Forum goes deeper into the conversations shaping LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion across APAC: intersectionality and courageous leadership, psychological safety, ERG sustainability, and the growing role of AI in equitable workplaces.

APAC’s diversity, spanning vastly different legal landscapes, cultural norms, and social contexts, is exactly why this gathering matters. It’s a rare chance for leaders to connect in person, learn from one another, and bring practical tools back to their organizations.

If you’re navigating LGBTQ+ inclusion in a region as complex as APAC, this Forum was built for you.

You will walk away with:

• Regional insights into emerging themes in LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion
• Practical frameworks for intersectional allyship and courageous leadership
• Strategies for strengthening psychological safety and belonging
• Approaches for sustaining ERGs and navigating the growing role of AI in equitable workplaces
• New connections with APAC leaders and practitioners committed to advancing inclusion
