About this Event

Join LGBTQ+ business and social sector leaders for this special evening, sponsored by Shoosmiths.

Pride in Leadership is a CIC that works to elevate, connect and support LGBTQ+ leaders and make them more visible. Having successfully built a community of LGBT+ leaders in Manchester, London, and Newcastle, we are now coming to Birmingham.

We will be talking to Trudy Norris-Grey on the theme of LGBTQ+ allyship, and her staggering career in technology.

Event description

Join us for a festive evening of connection, inspiration, and celebration at the Pride in Leadership Christmas Networking Event! This special occasion will bring together LGBTQ+ professionals and allies for an evening of insight and discussion, featuring Trudy Norris-Grey, a trailblazer in the tech industry and dedicated LGBTQ+ ally. In conversation with social entrepreneur Matt Haworth, Trudy will share her remarkable journey and her commitment to fostering inclusive workplaces. Expect a festive atmosphere filled with great conversation, networking opportunities, and Christmas cheer!

Trudy's story is one of breaking barriers and championing diversity. From her roots in Wales to national and global leadership roles at Vodaphone, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, and Microsoft, she has consistently advocated for underrepresented groups in the tech world. As the former Chair of UCAS and Women in Science and Engineering (WISE), Trudy has been instrumental in promoting equality and inclusion in education and professional spheres.

But the conversation will go beyond professional achievements. Trudy's passion for LGBTQ+ allyship is deeply personal, influenced by her experiences as a mother of two gay sons and as a sister to a gay brother. She understands firsthand the critical role allies play in creating environments where everyone can thrive.

As well as hearing Trudy’s inspirational story we'll explore the tangible impacts of effective allyship, which research shows may boost self-esteem and life satisfaction, and reducing workplace stress for LGBTQ+ individuals. Trudy and Matt will discuss practical insights on how to be a better ally, drawing from both their professional expertise and personal experiences.

This is more than just a talk—it's an opportunity to engage with an influential leader on a topic that's crucial for LGBTQ+ people at work.

Whether you're an established professional, an aspiring leader, or simply passionate about creating positive change, join us for an inspiring evening that celebrates the power of allyship and its potential to transform workplaces and lives.

The talk will be followed by drinks and food to network over thanks to the kind support of our hosts Shoosmiths.
