"Out to Innovate Summit" will be taking place on March 7, 2026, at the University of Southern California University Park Campus in Los Angeles, CA. The theme is "Innovating for Inclusion". It has been far too long since we have convened our Out to Innovate Summit. This is an opportunity to support one another, our LGBTQ+ communities, and the STEMM community. We'd love to connect with new members and re-connect with long-standing members.
