Ecommerce Pride is a community initiative to celebrate all things LGBTQ+ in the ecommerce space. Launched in 2022, we wanted to create a community that brought people together, supported those in need and helped make the ecommerce industry more welcoming and inclusive.
We want to create a safe and welcoming place for those who work in the ecommerce industry and who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community. With regular events and meetups, we bring like-minded people together to have fun, be inspired and feel safe to be themselves.
We strive to provide resources on LGBTQ+ themes and causes to educate those in the industry on how to be more inclusive and how to be better employers, suppliers and partners for their LGBTQ+ stakeholders.
Most importantly, we will use this community for good. We will help raise awareness and money for local and national LGBTQ+ charities and causes and help those take direct action for those in need.
Enjoy our curated playlist with some of our favourite hits from LGBTQ+ artists and musicians. You will likely hear this playlist at most of our events, and it is ever-evolving. We're also always open for suggestions to new artists in our Slack community.
