Out and Equal Workplace Summit 2027
October 11, 2027 - October 14, 2027
The Out & Equal Workplace Summit is a global LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion event, and the 2027 summit is scheduled for October 11 to 14 in Las Vegas.
Who it is for
Senior leaders and executives, HR and talent professionals, employee resource group (ERG) leaders, inclusion practitioners, legal teams, people managers and allies.
Why go
Out & Equal describes the summit as the largest global LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion gathering, with more than two decades of history, over 4,000 attendees, 100+ speakers and more than 200 participating companies. The program has over 100 practitioner-led sessions on belonging at work, ERG best practices, allyship, public policy, AI and workforce transformation, and inclusive talent development. There are mainstage sessions, the Momentum Awards, roundtables and a complimentary lunch each day. An optional Leadership Lab Day on October 11 runs four tracks: ERG Reboot, Allyship in Action, Policy and the Workplace, and Communicating Belonging. The 2027 agenda has not been announced.
Tickets and prices
General registration for 2027 opens in spring 2027. For reference, the 2026 general admission rates were $1,999 early bird, $2,399 standard and $2,649 last chance. Partner organizations get included registrations and can add more at $1,999 early bird or $2,149 standard. Leadership Lab Day is a $599 add-on available with a Partner Summit registration. Transfers, exchanges and cancellations are allowed up to 30 days before the start date.
Is it worth going?
If you lead or sponsor an ERG, or you own inclusion strategy, this is hard to match, because the sessions are led by practitioners and you spend the days with hundreds of people doing the same job. HR and employee experience leaders who want to understand how LGBTQ+ inclusion works in practice, beyond a policy document, also get a lot from it. The price is similar to other major HR conferences, so the case is strongest when you can send an ERG lead or a small team. Leaders with no active inclusion remit may find the topics narrower than they need. If you are not sure, the session list in 2027 will show whether the tracks match your priorities, and the 2025 Workplace Summit Impact Report on the Out & Equal site shows what past attendees took away.
