As technology and culture evolve faster than ever, leadership demands new capabilities and sharper self-awareness. The 2026 Out in Tech Leadership Institute equips LGBTQ+ professionals and allies to navigate uncertainty with clarity, integrity and courage.
Over two and a half immersive days in New York City, participants will connect through inspiring keynotes, dynamic workshops, curated cohort sessions, and intentional community-building. Together, these experiences move from Self to Systems to Community, helping participants strengthen their leadership practice, understand the broader systems they influence, and build meaningful connections with others. Each session offers practical tools to build emotional intelligence, sharpen decision-making, and increase awareness of how one’s choices and behaviors shape relationships for fast-moving, high-ambiguity tech environments.
This year’s program expands access and strengthens the leadership pipeline with a NextGen track linking early-career talent into learning spaces with established leaders.
Participants leave with a personalized Leadership Plan, a deeper connection to community, and practical skills for navigating change in their lives and careers. At Out in Tech we engineer kindness, knowledge, belonging and joy into everything we do.
Together, we’ll explore leadership as an opportunity to bolster connection and resilience.
