Our inaugural LGBT Week NYC was held this last week, April 20-24, 2015, at venues throughout New York City.

Building off of the success of our LGBT Marketing Conference held for the past 7 years in New York, Community Marketing & Insights and Pink Banana Media created an expanded LGBT conference schedule for 2015, bringing the broader scope of Marketing, Advertising & Technology to the mix, with the theme "Education & Networking: Bringing together the worlds of advertising, marketing, technology and business in the LGBT marketplace."  We had an incredible array of attendees, both for the entire week and for select, individual conferences.  We also had a superb group of partners putting together events with us during LGBT Week NYC, including StartOut, NGLCC-NY and more.  Our presenting sponsor for the entire week was Rivendell Media.  Additional sponsors included PowerVJ and Focus Group Radio.
