Description

Pride in Motorsport 2024 Networking Evening

Date & Time: 21st March 2024, 6PM - 8PM

Venue: Victorian Pride Centre

Proud 2 Play, Racing Pride, and Motorsport Australia warmly invite you to the Pride in Motorsport 2024 Networking Evening at the Victorian Pride Centre on 21st March, from 6PM. This unique event, set against the backdrop of the Australian Grand Prix week, is dedicated to fostering LGBTIQ+ inclusion within the motorsport industry.

About the Evening:

The night is a fantastic opportunity for LGBTIQ+ students, interns in STEM, passionate LGBTIQ+ motorsport fans and allies to connect with industry professionals. Our previous events have featured esteemed guests like Krystina Emmanouilides from Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber, Matt Bishop, Casey Price, Bea Vear, and Aston Martin Driver Ambassador Jessica Hawkins. Their contributions have significantly enriched our conversations on LGBTIQ+ inclusion in motorsport.

Networking Opportunities:

Engage directly with some of Racing Pride’s connections within the Formula 1 paddock, with attendees set to include engineers, mechanics, strategists, and media/communications professionals. This evening is an exceptional chance to build connections, learn about various careers in motorsports, open doors to potential career opportunities - or just learn more about the motorsport world in general.

Proud 2 Play is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to increasing LGBTQIA+ engagement in sport, exercise, and active recreation. We work across all levels of the sporting community—from individual participants and grassroots clubs to state and national sporting organisations—through education, implementing inclusive policies, and running events.

Our work goes beyond participation; we actively tackle discrimination in sport by advocating for systemic change, supporting organisations in creating safe and welcoming environments, and addressing barriers that prevent LGBTQIA+ people from engaging in sport. We also provide direct support to individuals, ensuring they have the guidance, resources, and pathways to participate in ways that feel safe and affirming.

We believe that the physical, mental, and social benefits of sport should be accessible to everyone, including players, volunteers, coaches, and officials. By fostering inclusive and supportive sporting spaces, we empower LGBTQIA+ individuals, along with their allies, friends, and families, to fully engage in sport and recreation.

Engagement is not limited to just actively participating in sport; the physical, mental and social benefits of sport should be experienced by active participants, volunteers, coaches and officials.
