About this event

Join us for a powerful evening of storytelling, celebration, and community as we mark two decades of Black Pride in the UK alongside Link and Brit Insurance - a landmark moment for visibility, representation, and joy in the Black LGBTQ+ community.

Taking place at the Queer Britain Museum, the UK’s first dedicated LGBTQ+ museum, this event is a unique opportunity to connect with the stories, people, and progress that have shaped the Black Pride movement since its inception.

As part of this special evening, attendees will:

✔️ Explore the “20 Years of Black Pride” exhibition – honouring the activists, creatives, and community leaders who have shaped the movement

✔️ Hear from the exhibition’s curator, offering exclusive insight into the cultural significance and personal stories behind the archive

✔️ Celebrate Black LGBTQ+ history and heritage, while recognising the challenges that remain and the change still needed

✔️ Network with professionals from across the insurance industry who are committed to inclusion and intersectional allyship

✔️ Enjoy refreshments and drinks in a relaxed, welcoming environment

This celebration is more than just an evening at the museum, it’s a moment to come together, reflect, and uplift Black LGBTQ+ voices within and beyond our industry.

Whether you identify with the community or stand as an ally, this is a space for recognition, reconnection, and recommitment to progress.

Accessibility & Inclusivity:

This event aims to be as accessible and inclusive as possible. If you have any accessibility needs, please indicate these during registration so we can do our best to accommodate.

We’re proud to be celebrating this milestone alongside our community partners and sponsors. We look forward to seeing you there.

Photographs will be taken at this event, so please let the photographer know if you do not wish to be featured.

MISSION STATEMENT

To promote multicultural inclusion and progression, engage with allies, and celebrate the benefits of inclusion and diversity in the insurance sector.

VISION

iCAN will be an influential network to advise and support multicultural inclusion and diversity within the insurance sector. The insurance industry will employ the best and brightest people from all walks of life and backgrounds, and insurance organisations will have a culture of inclusion. To achieve this iCAN aims to:

  • Bring the insurance industry together from apprentices to boards to share best practice and ideas for promoting multicultural inclusion;

  • Work with allies and other diversity and inclusion networks to address intersectionality and promote understanding across all facets of diversity;  

  • Promote multicultural awareness and drive engagement within the industry;

  • Challenge the perceptions and misconceptions of the insurance industry amongst new multicultural talent, and focus on the positives of building a career within the sector; and

  • Connect with multicultural networks from other industries such as legal, banking and public sector to learn from their experiences and successes to achieve our goals.
