Springtime Soirée: Expressions in Bloom

Join us for an evening of elegance at our first ever Springtime Soiree: Expressions in Bloom. While many people still live each day like a closed flower, the Soirée is all about recognizing what we can do when in full bloom: the generosity of our sponsors, the achievements of our community, and the accomplishments of Build Out Alliance. This exclusive cocktail hour will feature heartfelt speeches, stunning performances by LGBTQ+ artists including the fabulous Theydy Bedbug, raffle prizes, and a delightful array of networking opportunities. As we reflect on our collective achievements, we also will look forward to everything we have in store for 2024, sharing our goals and the exciting endeavors we aim to embark upon with the continued support of so many. Join us in a blooming Victorian/burlesque setting for an open bar, captivating raffle prizes, and the chance to support Build Out Alliance in our mission to champion authenticity and achievement in both the workplace and personal lives. It's not just a gathering; it's a tribute to the power of our community and the vision we hold for a more inclusive industry.
