Event Details

This event goes beyond LGBTQIA+ inclusion, embracing diverse cultures, religions, body types, abilities, and family structures.


  • Hear from industry leaders as they share key takeaways on making your brand more welcoming to all couples.
  • During a three-course dinner, engage in breakout conversations with fellow event professionals to discuss actionable DEI strategies to takeaway for your business.
  • Learn the power of inclusive language, imagery, and understanding the difference between being open to diverse events, and being truly competent in serving them.


We'll end the night with a celebration of our diversity- because no one is going to dim our light! Join us for an electric dance party playing homage to the days prior to Billy Penn Studios conception where the building used to house secret underground dance parties.

Expect neon, inclusivity, and an unforgettable night of insight, connection, and fun!
