Trans, Non-Binary and Gender-Nonconforming Inclusion
In this episode of Unmute, Aven Tran, Events Manager at the Equality Federation and founder of Sequin Situation, explores the realities of trans and non-binary inclusion in the business events industry. We challenge performative DEI, question what genuine allyship looks like, and discuss why silence, safety and representation matter more than ever. From event planning and destination choices to creating spaces where people can truly belong, this is a conversation about moving beyond good intentions and into meaningful action.
