11:10am - 11:30am	GLAAD: LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY AND INCLUSION UPDATE Meghan Bartley Senior Director of Agencies, Brands, and Engagement GLAAD Media Institute
11:30am - 12:05pm	UNAPOLOGETICALLY INCLUSIVE: STANDING FIRM IN TURBULENT TIMES Progress can feel fragile right now, especially as efforts toward inclusion face real pushback. This session explores how marketers can stay grounded in purpose when the climate gets tough. Visit Philadelphia’s Chief Marketing Officer shares a values-first approach to LGBTQ+ inclusion — one built on consistency, community trust, and the conviction to keep showing up when cultural winds shift. Attendees will walk away with practical strategies and renewed motivation to create meaningful, lasting impact through their work. Neil Frauenglass CMO Visit Philadelphia
12:05pm - 12:40pm	SESSION 2
12:40pm - 1:15pm	LIME: MOVING PEOPLE FREELY AND PROUDLY THROUGH THEIR CITIES Celebrate Pride with Lime, the global leader in micromobility, and explore how the company is redefining urban transportation as a platform for inclusion, belonging, and safe mobility for all. Through its “Ride Forward” campaign, Lime has partnered with local LGBTQ+ organizations across 24+ cities, bringing Pride-wrapped vehicles, community collaborations, and meaningful support to grassroots initiatives. As the official mobility sponsor of World Pride in Washington, D.C., Lime made it easier than ever for attendees to move confidently through the city, while ongoing partnerships with organizations like Destination Tomorrow and AIDS Foundation Chicago highlight its year-round commitment to equitable access and social impact. Join us to discover how Lime is driving real change — and get inspired to bring inclusion, sustainability, and connection into your own campaigns and partnerships. Evan Catlett Creative Director Lime
1:15pm - 1:50pm	KEEPING IT QUEER: CONNECTING WITH CLARITY AND PURPOSE IN LGBTQ+ MARKETING Connecting authentically with queer youth in any creative efforts can be tough. They’re an increasingly diverse segment that face a growing wave of isolation and marginalization, at home, at school, and in the wider culture. Any efforts to speak to them need to cut through that and stay rooted in a genuine understanding of their situation and what their needs are. It Gets Better and Orci partnered together on an initiative that not only saw and heard what queer youth were really going through, but gave them a lifeline, a resource to open dialogue and their own empowerment towards potential positive change in their lives. Find out how they developed and successfully launched their Perfectly Queer conversation game in this session led by Brian Wenke, Executive Director at It Gets Better, and Diego Andrade, SVP Executive Creative Director at Orci.
