The Pride Lecture & Garden Soiree is an enchanting evening celebrating diversity and fostering inclusivity! Our event features captivating drag performances and a thought-provoking workshop that delves into the nuances of creating inclusive workplaces by exploring the impacts of discrimination based on gender and sexuality.

The festivities commence with a registration period from 6:00 PM to 6:30 PM, encouraging participants to explore the diverse art installations at the Art Gallery. In the courtyard garden, a delightful blend of culinary delights, a pulsating DJ, and a well-stocked bar await guests.
