Out in Tech SF | How to be a Good Ally at Twitter HQ

June 20, 2019 6:00 pm - 9:30 pm

What does it mean to be a good ally? 


How can members outside of the LGBTQ+ community best support an inclusive and accepting environment in the workplace and otherwise? How can members within the community best support each other?


For the first time in the history of Out in Tech, we are excited to partner with Twitter to invite yourself and your straight (gasp!) friends, coworkers, family members, etc. to an exciting discussion!

  • 6pm: Doors Open, Registration, Drinks and Snacks by Twitter




  • 6-6:45 pm: Networking




  • 6:45pm: Panel begins




  • 7:20pm: Q&A begins




  • 7:50pm: Networking




  • 9:30pm sharp: Event ends
