Welcome to the 2024 Open For Business Coalition Forum in New York!

Open For Business is an international NGO making the economic case for LGBTQ+ inclusion around the world in the most challenging contexts, partnering with our coalition of 38 global businesses to advance LGBTQ+ equality where it is most needed.

Generously hosted and sponsored by Coalition Partner, American Express, join us at 200 Vesey Street for our New York Coalition Forum.

Open for Business are pleased to share that the United States Special Envoy to Advance the Human Rights of LGBTQI+ Persons, Jessica Stern, will be giving the keynote address, to share her thoughts on the importance of business to advance equality for LGBTQ+ people around the world.

The Coalition Forum will be a chance to hear from Open for Business about the organisation’s upcoming research and programmes and to learn of emerging trends on LGBTQ+ inclusion in Southeast Asia, Central and Eastern Europe and East Africa.

The event will conclude with a panel discussion on how global business can support the LGBTQ+ community in the most challenging geographic contexts, before an opportunity to network.
