The Connection Café: Your monthly blend that brews networks, and big ideas
May 8 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Join us for our monthly CGLCC Connection Café! Expand your horizons and connect with others in the CGLCC network, including certified suppliers, corporate partners, Rainbow Registered members, national associateship members and the OUT For Business mentoring community. This informal chat facilitates networking and brings together people from different memberships.
These virtual sessions are open only to CGLCC members and will take place in the middle of the month.
The next session will be on May 8th from 2-3 PM ET. We can’t wait to see you there!
Looking to build real connections in the queer business space? Join us on Wednesday, May 8th from 2–3 PM ET for an hour of intentional networking, uplifting visibility, and “omg same!” moments with fellow 2SLGBTQI+ entrepreneurs and changemakers. This session will be led by the incredible Andrew ACE Edwards from DesignACE.
Whether you’re showing up to pitch a new idea, find your next collab, or just want to be in community—we’ve got you. Expect warm intros, playful prompts, and space to share both the wins and the work-in-progress. Think speed networking meets heartfelt convos.
Theme of the Day: Visibility is a Superpower
Share your pitch + your one big ask! Let’s get loud, visible, and supported.
