Pride in Drinks (PID), hosted their 2024 Pride Month event, "Growing Together with Pride," at the Diageo Sydney HQ Bar.
The event opened with Tammy Heuych and Jamila Diamonon; co-leads of PID, inviting inspiration and meaningful conversations as we gathered to celebrate the milestones of our Pride in Drinks Industry Resource Group over the past year. Together, we reflected on the progress made within our industry towards inclusivity and discussed opportunities for the LGBTQIA+ community.
Key highlights included insights from Chris Keely of Pride in Diversity, who shared valuable perspectives on industry trends and recent diversity, equity, and inclusion statistics. Additionally, we were honored to hear from Corrie Scheepers of Ampersand Estates and Rainfall Distillery, who shared a personal journey of growth and success within our field.
Throughout the event, interactions were vibrant and engaging as attendees explored avenues to further support our businesses through education, awareness, and training initiatives aimed at strengthening connections within our Pride community
The energy in the room contributed significantly to the success of this event, and we are grateful for the active participation and thoughtful contributions to the discussions. We also received incredible feedback on the night.
As we look forward, the Pride in Drinks team remains committed to advancing our goals and fostering an inclusive environment within the drinks industry. We are excited about the future initiatives we discussed and the opportunities ahead to continue making a positive impact.
We look forward to the future, and "Growing Together with Pride."
