Call for contributions: MRSpride SHOW UP: Afterhours

Show Up Afterhours will be a short but sharp programme of three sessions, and we’d love to invite contributions for two of them.

Each session will last for around 30 minutes (including Q&A) and we’d love to hear from you.

Along with a fireside chat with a fabulous guest speaker, we’d love the two additional sessions to celebrate, challenge, provoke or inspire (ideally, all of the above!) We’ll select sessions that showcase the diversity of experiences and viewpoints within the LGBTQ+ community.

Have you worked on a project that’s activated change, or challenged the status quo?

Or a project (internal within your company or a research project) that’s helped celebrate, champion or cultivate connections within the LGBTQ+ community?

Or perhaps you’ve got a ‘wild card’ submission up your sleeve that you’ve always wanted to submit but haven’t felt the time is right, perhaps now is the time?!

We welcome solo, paired or panel contributions. As long as your session can fit within the 30 minute slot, we’re all ears.

We are keen to provide a platform as much to senior LGBTQ+ leaders, as to junior and up-and-coming LGBTQ+ talent. We will carefully prepare all those who contribute (so, if you’ve never spoken in public before, rest assured that you’ll have lots of briefing and support).

Contributors from lesser-heard-from parts of the LGBTQ+ community are especially encouraged to get in touch, including the trans, bi and intersex communities, as well as LGBTQ+ people with intersectional identities. We are committed to building the most inclusive programme we can.

If you have a case study or discussion point to share, please submit via our online form by Friday 5^th June.

Please let us know if you’d like to be considered for a case study, no slides panel session or in conversation with (interview style) session. All conference slots are 30 mins.

With special thanks to:
