In the vibrant oasis of Palm Springs, California, the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC) invites you to the premier event of the year—the 2024 NGLCC International Business & Leadership Conference– from July 30 to August 2nd.
As the exclusive certifying body of LGBTQ-owned businesses, NGLCC is dedicated to expanding economic opportunities and advancements for LGBTQ individuals worldwide.
At the core of NGLCC’s mission is the belief that growth thrives within strong local networks. By becoming a member of your local affiliate chamber, you not only unlock local membership benefits but also gain access to complementary national certification. Currently boasting over 2,000 Certified LGBT Business Enterprise suppliers, 53 domestic affiliate chambers, 24 international affiliate chambers and 438 corporate partners, NGLCC offers a robust platform for networking and business expansion.
NGLCC doesn’t just certify businesses; it empowers them to succeed. Programs like the XLRI, in partnership with industry giants like Wells Fargo and Dell Small Business, provide invaluable resources to LGBTQ-owned businesses, helping them navigate and excel in competitive markets.
In an age where digital connectivity is paramount, NGLCC stands in staunch support of initiatives like the Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act. Ensuring equitable internet access isn’t just an economic issue; it’s about promoting equity and inclusivity across all facets of life. By supporting this legislation, NGLCC advocates for millions of Americans who rely on affordable internet access for work, education, health care and civic engagement.
Becoming a Certified LGBT Business Enterprise supplier opens doors to a myriad of opportunities, from national recognition by top corporations to eligibility for mentorship programs and sourcing opportunities. Additionally, certified businesses gain access to exclusive discounts and resources, further bolstering their growth and success.
The 2024 NGLCC International Business & Leadership Conference isn’t just an event; it’s a convergence of innovation and inclusivity. With presenting sponsors including Encore, Google, Southern California Edison, Truist, Wells Fargo, Chevron, Amazon, GSK and more, this conference promises to be the world’s largest LGBTQ+ business event.
