🌈 THE 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY ! 🌈
How Out Can I Be Now?
When: Wednesday 11 November 2026
Where: Kilburn & Strode, 84 Theobalds Road London WC1X 8NL
Timings: Arrive 6.00 pm for a 6.30 panel start. Drinks/networking until 9.00 pm.
Hosted and Sponsored by: Kilburn & Strode
The first IP Out event, in November 2016, asked how out people could be at work. Ten years on, the sector, the law, and the wider climate have all shifted.
Join us for a panel discussion as this in-person-only event revisits the same core question with a decade of hindsight, and asks what’s changed, what hasn’t, and what’s next.
In addition to a review of the past decade and our panel discussion, we will be running a competition for those in attendance. The categories are:
- IP Out Multiplier Award – the award for bringing the most IP Out newbies to this event
- IP Out Stan Award – the award for having attended the most IP Out events
- The IP Out Award for Best Ally – presented by Andrea Brewster
To be in with a chance to win the IP Out Multiplier Award, make sure you forward this invite to your colleagues and contacts who have never been to an IP Out event. For the IP Out Ally Award, we will be asking those that register to (optionally) include a nomination for someone that has been an ally to them. The IP Out Committee will then select a winner, to be announced on the night (so do encourage them to attend if you have nominated them). For the IP Out Stan Award – come to the event to find out!
We look forward to seeing you soon!
