THRIVE LGBT LAS VEGAS I AUGUST 1 - 4, 2017 #NGLCC17 Dear Conference Attendees, Welcome to beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada and the 2017 NGLCC International Business & Leadership Conference! As we at NGLCC celebrate 15 years of LGBT business success, we are proud to bring together over 1,000 of the most successful, innovative, and influential leaders in the LGBT and allied business community. We hope you have the chance to connect with your fellow attendees at our largest conference to date. NGLCC and our partners have never been more committed to ensuring opportunity and success for our community — one business and one connection at a time. The indomitable and entrepreneurial spirit of our LGBT family is what has made NGLCC the global leader in LGBT business opportunity over the last 15 years, and it is what will propel us to do so in the next 15 years ahead. Whether this is your first NGLCC conference or one of many, there is so much to look forward to. During this week, you will: • Be inspired by acclaimed business leaders, bringing you insights to grow your companies and expand your opportunities, including featured keynotes by fashion icon and best-selling author, Tim Gunn; entrepreneur and LGBT advocate, Lisa Vanderpump; CEO and author of Predictable Success, Les McKeown; mobile technology and investing expert, Heidi Lehmann; and out CEO and philanthropist, Mitchell Gold • Open your heart to the powerful stories of global LGBT leaders, including India’s Crown Prince Manvendra Singh Gohi, fighting to make our world more inclusive for our communities • Change the destiny of one of our NGLCC LGBT Biz Pitch finalists as they compete for $50,000 in cash and prizes in our largest and most exciting competition to date, all while celebrating 15 years of NGLCC at our closing lunch plenary • Maximize your LGBT Business Enterprise (LGBTBE) certification – meet other certified business owners, chamber leaders, and corporate partners – and connect through a number of strategically crafted networking and social events None of this would be possible without the continued support from our conference sponsors, including our Presenting Sponsors, American Airlines, Aetna, Southern California Edison, and our very first LGBTBE to serve as a conference Presenting Sponsor, American Meetings, Inc. We are also grateful to our CEO Level Sponsors, IBM, Sony Pictures Entertainment, T-Mobile, and U.S. Bank, as well as all of our Vice President, Director, Manager, Associate, Media, and Special Event Sponsors. To all of the individuals and organizations that have given their time and resources, we are grateful for your dedication to the LGBT business community.
