Join us for the first Milton Park Pride Networking event, bringing together the LGBTQIA+ community working at Milton Park. This is an opportunity to connect, share experiences and celebrate diversity in our professional environment.
Whether you're an employee, entrepreneur or simply part of the Milton Park ecosystem, this event is open to all who identify as LGBTQIA+ or allies. Come and be a part of this inclusive gathering, celebrating our diverse identities and fostering a supportive community.
The event will begin with two inspiring talks by LGBTQIA+ community members from Milton Park, sharing their stories and insights. These short talks aim to foster a sense of belonging and provide a platform for voices within our community.
After the talks, you will have the opportunity to network; meet like-minded individuals, build relationships and expand your professional network within the LGBTQIA+ community at Milton Park.
This event is organised by a new committee made up of individuals from various companies on the Park, dedicated to fostering greater interactions and supporting LGBTQIA+ people working in here and sponsored by MEPC Milton Park.
The Hive Cafe will be selling Wine, Beer and soft drinks and your first drink on arrival will be free.
This is a a free event but we do ask you to book a place so we have a idea of numbers to expect on the night thank you.
