  What is STEM, LGBTQ & You?

  STEM, LGBTQ & You is the UK regional oSTEM Inc. conference, and aims to fetch LGBTQ+ STEM people together, whilst also helping educate our allies.
  
  The conference includes presentations from LGBTQ+ people studying and active in STEM, about their work and research, their Gay and / or STEM journeys, and the experiences they have had along the way.

  This event is designed for everyone, regardless of whether you hold a STEM background or identify as LGBTQ+. We welcome everyone who wants to learn more about a diverse range of subjects and/or how people who identify as LGBTQ+ experience the world of STEM.
