How can communications professionals meaningfully engage LGBTQ+ audiences throughout the year - and do so with authenticity, respect, and impact? Join PRSA Rochester for a special Pride Month edition of Cocktails & Conversations, featuring a facilitated discussion with Marie-Adelina de la Ferrière, community editor for EqualPride - the leading LGBTQ-owned media voice for equality across communities, including OUT and The Advocate.

The program will open with a guided, conversational-style discussion with Marie-Adelina and small group dialogue around key questions like:

  • What does meaningful LGBTQ+ outreach look like today?
  • How can communication professionals avoid common missteps in language and representation?
  • What does it take to tell authentic queer stories and build trust?
  • How do you support inclusive work internally and externally?

The session will be followed by a relaxed cocktail hour at nearby Vesper to continue the conversation and build community.
