We're very excited to be teaming up with Talonya Geary and her team at Spiire.org, where they'll be producing an entirely new segment to LGBT Week NYC on Friday, titled inQ: An Incubator For Queer Thought Leadership.  Held at the Film Center Ampitheater at Lincoln Center, this interactive program brings together LGBTQ+ thought leaders from across the sectors and living at the intersections to deliver a leading edge, experiential event.   It's designed to advance your knowledge and expand your peer group by learning from LGBTQ+ Thought Leaders, sharing experiences and ideas in the areas of business, the arts, social impact / policy, well-being and technology.
