As part of the celebration, we will honor the 10-Year Anniversary of Marriage Equality Supreme Court Ruling, celebrating a decade of love and progress while recognizing the ongoing fight to protect these hard-won rights.  Marriage equality is not only a victory for civil rights—it’s a cornerstone of economic inclusion.

In the face of new challenges, this celebration is more than just an anniversary—it’s a powerful call to action to preserve equality for all. Together, let’s reflect on the journey, celebrate our resilience, and stand united.

This year, coming together as a community to celebrate the visibility, resilience, and strength of the LGBTQ+ community—and this historic court decision—is more important than ever.


Jim Obergefell (he/him)

Special Guest: Jim Obergefell

We’re honored to welcome Jim Obergefell, the plaintiff in the landmark Supreme Court case that legalized marriage equality across the U.S. Join us to hear his inspiring story.

Now, more than ever, it’s vital to show leadership in promoting inclusion and equality. By sponsoring the Pride In Business Celebration, your organization sends a clear message: diversity strengthens us, inclusion fuels innovation, and allyship matters. Stand with us as we celebrate progress and resilience.

This celebration is more than an anniversary—it’s a call to action. Together, we will: 
  • Reflect on the journey of achieving marriage equality.
  • Recognize our resilience as a community.
  • Reaffirm our dedication to the fight for equality for all.
  • Celebrate the LGBTQ+ community’s economic impact.

AFTER PARTY!

🎉 Pride In Business Celebration – It’s More Than Just a Luncheon!

Get Ready for the AFTER PARTY!

This year’s Pride In Business Celebration is all about the experience—from start to finish. Yes, we’ll gather to honor our Pride In Business Award recipients and mark the 10-Year Anniversary of Marriage Equality, but that’s just the beginning.

The energy keeps going after the main event with music, cocktails, connection, and community just outside the ballroom doors. You’ll want to stick around!  After the luncheon finishes, we'll open the doors to a transformed space for the After Party.

A few years back, the Pride In Business After Party was born out of a simple truth: no one wanted to leave. The connections, energy, and celebration were too good to end with the luncheon. So we made it official—and it’s become a signature part of the day.

✨ Once those ballroom doors open after the luncheon, the celebration continues with more networking, connect and activations that keep the party going all afternoon including:


🎧 Live DJ spinning feel-good beats to set the vibe!
📸 Photo Booth to capture your pride in full color, as part of our collaboration with Chamber Member, Booth Boxx.
🎨 Caricature Artist creating fun, personalized keepsakes, as part of our collaboration with Chamber Member, Leaf Arts.
🌈 Show Your Pride Exhibit featuring powerful portraits and stories from our community, as part of our collaboration with Chamber Member, Soneja Creative.
🎉 And more!

💥 Take the day off—seriously. You won’t want to miss a moment.

Purchase your Luncheon tickets today, which include the After Party!

Don't even think about leaving after the luncheon… because the Pride In Business Celebration After Party is where the energy goes next level! Mingle, network, and keep the celebration going with the community.

Special thanks to our After Party Sponsors, including After Party Presenting Sponsor Brooks Ballard International Real Estate, for helping us keep the pride going strong well into the afternoon.  Check out all of our After Party sponsors here.
