20 Years Out Loud!
About LGBT@Work
LGBT+@Work is the flagship conference organized by IE Out and Allies. Since its launch in 2006, it has become one of the leading LGBTQ+ conferences in Europe and the longest-running of its kind. Nearly two decades later, it continues to foster meaningful conversations on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the business world. Organized through IE Campus Life and the IE Foundation, LGBT+@Work brings together internationally recognized executives and thought leaders to explore emerging trends, share best practices, and uncover new opportunities for growth. Hosted in Madrid, Spain, the conference serves as a powerful platform to expand professional networks, drive inclusive business strategies, and inspire the next generation of leaders.
20 Years Out Loud
For our 20th anniversary, “20 Years Out Loud” captures the unapologetic spirit of the LGBT+ community as we celebrate the voices that have challenged norms, led with authenticity, and turned visibility into lasting change.
20 Years Out Loud is a tribute to the power of expression, resilience, and solidarity. It invites us to celebrate how being out, proud, and vocal has shaped a more inclusive world of work, while amplifying the voices that continue to lead us forward.
This year's event empowers participants to:
Celebrate authentic visibility and its impact on leadership and culture
Share stories that inspire courage, allyship, and change
Envision the next 20 years of bold, intersectional progress
