The CGLCC annual Global Business Summit
Save the dates
We just want to give you a heads up and a chance for you to save the dates. Our friends in Canada – the Canadian LGBT+ Chamber of Commerce will host their annual conference Global Business Summit in June 7-11. This year it vill be digital and it’s a great opportunity for you as a member of SGLCC to participate.
The CGLCC annual Global Business Summit brings together members, certified suppliers, corporate and government partners, and allies from Canada and around the world to discuss LGBT+ entrepreneurship in Canada.
In celebration of the fifth LGBT+ Global Business Summit, this year’s event will be hosted virtually for a unique, digital experience full of business building, innovative entrepreneurship stories, and unparalleled procurement connections.
More information will come – but if you are interested – save the date!
Upcoming 2021
As we have now entered 2021, we hope you are all safe, and staying healthy!
The situation in the world is of course still unpredictable and challenging for many, in different ways. We are very aware of the difficult situation many small businesses are in, while others have been more fortunate.
SGLCC aims to make the best of the situation during the spring and summer, although we still need to wait a while before we can meet in person. Dates for events will be sent to you in good time. The plan is to continue with our on- line Round Tables and informal smaller gatherings with our small businesses, where allowed.
We have also started the planning for a larger conference as well as participation in World Pride during late summer – in the serene hope the world will then be a more social place.
If you have any specific topics you would like us to highlight during the spring, please just let us know!

Corporate Round Table: The economic case for LGBT Inclusion
Corporate Round Table – The economic case for LGBT Inclusion
We welcome our partners to a Round Table discussion on the corporate value of LGBT inclusion in a safe and corona-free environment, at the British Ambassadors Residence.
Date: November 11
Time: 15:00-16:00
In Britain the LGBT market is estimated is more than 80 Billion Pounds annually. The Nordic countries alone constitute a potential 2.5 million consumers and more than EUR Bln 30 in net-value. LGBT inclusion is vital for corporations in order to access this market potential. In addition a strategic D&I program attracts better talents and improves the environment for innovation. Yet, many corporations still have some way to go in order to integrate these issues in their business model to the full potential. Our Roundtable aims to provide a constructive dialogue and sharing of best practice examples.
Note that this event is by special invitation only. If you are interested please send us an email.
Thank you!
