The summit is open to all employers and employees – including state and local governments, small business and community employers in Greater Western Sydney. The purpose of the summit is to encourage conversation and create a space for organisations and their teams to consider LGBTQ+ inclusion within diverse workplaces, and with multicultural workforces and customers.

Held at Western Sydney University (Parramatta Campus) on Tuesday 8 April 2025 and chaired by Pride in Diversity and our patron, Chancellor of Western Sydney University and Special Advisor at KPMG, Jennifer Westacott AO, the Summit presents a series of speaker events and an interactive workshop focusing on awareness and effecting cultural change.
