Building meaningful, authentic connections can be especially challenging for LGBTQ+ individuals – particularly for queer, trans, and gender-diverse people of colour – within professional and creative industries. Following the success of last year's inaugural session, we continue to offer a dedicated space for LGBTQ+ artists, culture workers, and industry professionals working in global music to come together, share experiences, and foster new collaborations. Whether you’re seeking community, creative partnerships, or simply a space where you can show up as your full self, this gathering is for you. Allies are welcome, with the understanding that this space is created first and foremost for LGBTQ+ participants.
