Young OutLEADERS matter now more than ever.
OutNEXT is the first and only global talent program for emerging LGBTQ+ leaders, proudly sponsored by RBC Capital Markets and Citi. The OutNEXT curriculum has been honed over 10 years to help LGBTQ+ leaders understand their OutVANTAGE™, leadership skills that are unique to the LGBTQ+ experience.
The OutNEXT curriculum was developed in partnership with McKinsey and PwC, and in the past 10 years has become a world-class global leadership development program, which includes outstanding speakers, a social impact challenge, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities.
Our 2022 Program included speakers like Olympic Champion Gus Kenworthy, US Senator Tammy Baldwin, Evan Wolfson, founder of Freedom to Marry, Rashad Robinson, President of Color of Change, and many more.
It’s a unique forum to meet like-minded LGBTQ+ leaders from a range of different companies, from all over the world, as well as learn from more seasoned players. OutNEXT helps attendees create bonds of friendship that will last an entire career, all while having fun!
OutNEXT is exclusively available to emerging OutLEADERS, who have been nominated by our member companies.
