We’re aware not everyone may be ready to “come out” in professional situations, but may still want to explore inclusive employers and learn from other people’s experiences. That’s why there is no formal networking element to the event, and attendees are welcome to share as much or as little detail about themselves as they’d like through their name, photo and bio on the virtual events platform. Attendees who wish to will have opportunities to network with each other and interact with the firms by asking questions during the sessions.
For further support at this event, take a look at this page and get in touch if you have any questions or concerns.

What people say about this event
The best bits of advice I've been gotten out of this event are: Don’t be a clone in an interview, be a part of an organisation where one feels safe and respected, overcome barriers don't stop, find allies and be an ally to others.
Bright Network has always helped me improve and learn something new, from Internship Experience UK and Proud to B to the Virtual University Series.
