YVC SAYS YES TO AN INCLUSIVE PHILIPPINES

Last October 7, 2023, YVC joined the first two roundtable discussions (RTD) at the Butterboy Cafe in Quezon City, Philippines that tackled topics on “Navigating the Challenges of a Demanding Post-Pandemic Economy with an Inclusive Approach” and “Inclusive Marketing and Advertising as a Key Indicator Of Success”. It was also announced that the second RTD is scheduled on October 18, 2023 at Mandaluyong while the Inclusive Philippines Business Summit is said to take place in Iloilo in 2024 for the second leg.

Back in March 22, 2023, the first Inclusive Philippines Business Summit (IPBS) at SMX Aura Convention Center was launched. The IPBS is a multi-day training and conference event that provides a collaborative venue for policymakers, business leaders, advocates, development workers, and thought leaders to meet and exchange ideas on current issues, public policies, best practices, and key opportunities to improve the state of diversity, equity, and inclusion in Philippine commerce and industry.

YVC is an implementing partner of the Philippine LGBT Chamber of Commerce and a sponsor of the Inclusive Philippines Business Summit.

It’s not too late to be a part of the first movement that aims to make the Philippines a country where no one is left behind.
