Titled "LGBT Diversity in the Workplace", the event is part of Fridae's ongoing efforts to promote the empowerment of LGBTs in Asia. Registrations are now open.
About 90 human resource professionals, diversity champions, NGOs and LGBT community leaders attended the second Annual Workplace Diversity conference, which was presented by Aibai and IBM, in Beijing last month.
Over 350 LGBT business executives (including Fridae Chairman Paul Thompson) and allies from more than 26 countries, representing more than 80 organizations and government agencies, gathered in London to share their best practices and ideas for creating workplaces where LGBT people are safe, accepted, and valued.
The Internet was abuzz over the weekend with reports that Google has launched a worldwide push to legalise same-sex marriage but it has since clarified that it is not the case, a Google spokesperson told Fridae on Monday.
