We’re excited to share with you that this year’s STEM, LGBTQ, and You conference will be happening on Friday the 21st of February. This year’s inspiring theme, Activism in Action, matches that of LGBTQ+ History month 2025.

This event is proudly organised by the Out in STEM (oSTEM) UK chapter, aiming to provide a welcoming and inclusive space for LGBTQ+ individuals in STEM fields. The conference will be held both in-person in Birmingham and online.

This year we’ll be exploring the role of activism in inspiring change, fostering inclusion, and shaping the future of STEM. Attendees will have the opportunity to:

• Hear from inspiring keynote speakers and panel discussions.
• Participate in a workshop to develop advocacy skills.
• Connect with like-minded professionals and allies passionate about equality.

This event is designed for everyone, regardless of whether you have a STEM background or identify as LGBTQ+. We welcome everyone who wants to learn more about a diverse range of subjects and/or how people who identify as LGBTQ+ experience the world of STEM.

Registration is now open and is essential to attend, we encourage you to register ASAP to secure your place using the following link!
