Event Highlights

Workshops and Networking: Participate in interactive workshops designed to help you grow professionally and personally. Network with peers and BCG consultants who share your passion for making a difference.

A Safe and Supportive Environment: We understand the challenges that can come with public-facing LGBTQ+ events. Rest assured, we will accommodate any requests for anonymity and will only publish information with your consent. That being said, it will be communicated internally with our BCG recruiters, that you are a selected PROUD candidate – though this communication will not be public-facing. If you have any additional questions, feel free to get in touch with us.

Beyond Definition; Embrace Limitless Opportunities: We speak to the limitless nature of identity and the beauty of individuality. This concept invites everyone to go beyond traditional labels and embrace diversity. At BCG, we foster an inclusive community where you can truly be yourself without constraints. Explore the myriad of roles and opportunities that allow you to grow and thrive in an environment that celebrates your unique strengths and interests.

We look forward to welcoming you to PROUD 2025. Together, let's go Beyond Definition and build a future where everyone is seen and valued for who they truly are.
