Pride at Work Conference 2023

2023 Pride at Work Conference

Tuesday June 13th in The Morrison Hotel, Ormond Quay, Dublin 1.

Conference Schedule

9.30am – 10.00am Registration10.00am – 10.15am Welcome address

10.15am – 11.15am Session 1 The Data Don’t Lie

In a world driven by data and analytics, we examine how they can be used to better understand the challenges LGBTQ+ workers face, develop systems to promote equity and inclusion, and both track and drive progress.

11.15am – 11.45am Break

11.45am – 12.45pm Session 2 Write it Down

If it’s not your policy, its not your practice! For hundreds of years LGBTQ+ people have faced discrimination and persecution based on laws and policies that were written down. It’s not enough to just remove the words that criminalised or excluded us, they must be replaced with robust policies and legislation that protects and includes us.

In this session we will look at the importance of inclusive policies, get advice on how to develop them and learn how to avoid pitfalls that can turn well intentioned plans into HR disasters.

12.45pm – 2.00pm Lunch

2.00pm – 3.00pm Session 3 Myth Busting

Propaganda, misinformation, and fake news have the potential to polarise public opinion, to promote violent extremism and hate speech and, ultimately, to undermine trust and relationships between communities.

What do we actually want? How do we separate the real issues from those that have been made up to sow division? And how do we challenge the myths and lies spread about our community?

3.00pm – 3.15pm Break

3.15pm – 4.15pm Session 4 What’s next?

Since the first Dublin Pride workplace conference in 2019, we’ve seen a global pandemic that changed how and where we worked; a great resignation, followed by a great layoff; war in Europe, a climate crisis, an energy crisis, a cost of living crisis and a rise in far right ideologies.

In our final session of the day, we bring together an activist, a historian, a politician, and a diplomat and ask them the questions: What’s next, and how do we prepare for it?

4.15pm – 4.30pm Closing address

5.00pm Drinks at Pennylane
