Join us on Thursday, October 22, 2026, from 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM (CDT) in Chicago at Mercer or virtually nationwide for an evening dedicated to the stories that shaped our community.

Agenda:

• 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM (CDT) — Reception & Networking

• 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM (CDT) — Drinks & Networking

We would like to extend a special thank you to Mercer for sponsoring this event and for their dedicated, long-standing partnership with Out in Finance.

Chicago’s LGBTQ+ history is as vibrant as it is complex, yet many of the pivotal moments and figures that defined our movement have been overlooked or lost to time. This event invites you to journey through these "forgotten" histories—exploring the milestones, grassroots efforts, and cultural shifts in the Midwest that paved the way for the progress we see today. Understanding our shared legacy is essential to navigating our future, and we are honored to bring these stories to light in the heart of the city.

Gerber Hart will be bringing items from their archive for attendees to interact with, such as original LGBTQ travel guides for Chicago and historical books.

About Our Partner: Gerber/Hart Library and Archives

Founded in 1981, Gerber/Hart seeks to collect, preserve, and make accessible the history and culture of LGBTQ+ communities in Chicago and the Midwest to advance the goal of achieving justice and equality. They operate a free public lending library and a vast archive of primary source materials, offering a safe and welcoming atmosphere for research, exploration, and discovery. Through their exhibits and public programs, Gerber/Hart continues to center community involvement to ensure our history is celebrated and remembered.

Help us expand our reach: We encourage you to invite a coworker or friend who shares our mission and would enjoy learning about our community's rich history.
