      <image:title>News - The message from the East meets West Co-founders - Pavel on rainbow families</image:title>
      <image:caption>The wide public knows East meets West for the many years of LGBTIQ advocacy in Central &amp; Eastern Europe, and this mainly in the business environment. This focus broadened back in 2020 and started to include running after the challenges faced by rainbow families, the year that one of EmW's co-founders became a father. Might not be too hard to guess it is me, Pavel... and who also writes this second part of the personal Message from the Co-founders. Our adoption process turned into a three-year legal battle but early 2024 came the breakthrough. The Austrian court finally recognised us as the fathers of our daughter who is with us from her third day of life. The feelings when the new birth certificate arrived, with both our names in, are hard to describe. But the most emotional moment was back in 2020 when we received a first call from the social workers, when we met our very precious girl for the very first time in the hospital and when we all three the next day arrived to our home.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - The message from the East meets West Co-founders - Ludo on the changing world around us</image:title>
      <image:caption>Looking back at 2024, it was for me, Ludo, one of the 2 East meets West Founders, a strange year. It was a year when I realised fully that no longer living on site in Vienna and not often meeting our people from the CEE region had become a challenge. I know that in the digital era, the distance is no longer an issue but still… But after the same time I realised that it also offered a big, new opportunity. Time and distance allowed me to have a more high level view of what was happening in the LGBTIQ community. The masses of articles and reports gave me after a while a clearer insight on from where the new a wind is blowing andit was not good news. East meets West had been used to work in a positive and open environment with mutual respect but now we saw that insulting language, when talking about our community had become fashionable and was considered ok. This change finds its origin in the increased number of right wing populistic parties that attack our community with false information and lies. Frightening, no?</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - The Economic Case for LGBTIQ Inclusion in Slovakia - Within weeks after the attack, over 30,000 citizens signed a petition calling for equal rights, demanding more supportive policies for LGBTQ+ people across the nation.</image:title>
      <image:caption>At the same time handful of business professionals got together and discussed how best to use the economic importance of businesses in Slovakia towards the needed social change. We from East meets West had the privilege to be part of it and advise in its early days a group, which grew to a strong coalition of companies operating in Slovakia. The first public appearance of this coalition was back in May 2023. At the occasion of the IDAHOBIT (International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia) the first 25 companies stood out and signed a business appeal "Firemna Vyzva" (www.firemnavyzva.sk).   Now, one year later, this appeal and the demands towards Slovak country leadership was signed by almost 60 companies operating in Slovakia. According to our estimates, these companies together employ in Slovakia over 36.000 people! Impressive!... though many of important Slovak business players still did not stand up. A word of praise: Most people who are active in Diversity &amp; Inclusion are very passionate about this topic, regardless of the fact of their personal or professional activities. Some work for an NGO, others are activists or work in a business environment. To find and keep their motivation going is not always easy but without their passion we would not see all the great ideas and initiatives they drive. We have to mention here someone whom we met and who very soon convinced us with an endless amount of motivation and drive to mobilise others to take action. And this all as a “side job” next to the main work in international corporate environment and next to the family life (a rainbow family life). This amazing success would not be possible without Martina (Tina) Bednar, who devoted her last twelve months to this business appeal.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - The Economic Case for LGBTIQ Inclusion in Slovakia - Some of you might recall our important "asks" to the Slovak Business community.</image:title>
      <image:caption>One year ago, we all stood still and could not believe the terrible news from Bratislava, but referring to the theme of our 2022 Bratislava conference, we thought it was time to pick-up the thread, again. We tagged in our LinkedIn post 13 businesses and their CEOs: Vacuumlabs, U. S. Steel Košice, Volkswagen Slovakia, Slovnaft, IKEA Slovakia, VÚB banka, Tatra banka, Accenture Slovakia, IBM, ESET, Slovak Telekom and Orange. That time only 3 had the courage to respond. Our “ask” was and still is simple and comes down to 3+1 positive actions: Guarantee for all your LGBTIQ employees that your company is for them a safe space where they do not have to look over their shoulders but feel free of discrimination and any form of violence. Move the LGBTIQ topics out of the “coffee corners” into the standard conversations in your company and by doing this, really consider it as business as usual. There is an economic cost of not doing so. Use your economic importance in Slovakia through your public affairs. Add the LGBTIQ Diversity &amp; Inclusion as key topic when working with key policy makers. + you want to go the extra mile? Launch a Supplier Diversity &amp; Inclusion program and make your corporate spend more inclusive. Use Supplier Diversity as a tool to become a relevant social influencer.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - The Economic Case for LGBTIQ Inclusion in Slovakia - What does Slovakia miss as an LGBTIQ non-inclusive country? How much does it cost Slovakia and what are the main drivers behind the economic costs of exclusion?</image:title>
      <image:caption>East meets West is one of the proud supporters and contributors to the recent Open for Business research which spotlights The Economic Case for LGBTQ+ Inclusion in Slovakia. What we like about Open for Business work is the structure? The 27 clear propositions grouped in Economic, Business and Individual performance, which makes it easy for anyone to follow a clear business case for LGBTIQ inclusion.  This research was published at a press conference hosted by Henkel Slovakia. We were proud and glad that both Dominic Arnall, the Chief Executive Officer at Open For Business (OfB), together with Liz Jacobs who leads at OfB Global Programs made the trip to Bratislava and joined in person the many journalists and business professionals from over 30 companies operating in Slovakia.

      <image:title>Conferences &amp; Events - ARE THE HONEYMOON YEARS OVER? (2025)</image:title>
      <image:caption>June 13th, 2025 Vienna, Austria (in-person &amp; ONLINE) SOLD-OUT for in-person, join LIVESTREAM Honeymoon? We are aware that since East meets West became active in Central &amp; and Eastern Europe, we encountered  often tough obstacles. Some countries were open to our suggestions and made legal changes but (too) many could not cut the ties with the old prejudices against LGBTIQ people. But there was limited danger for the activists working in our focus region and still relevant progress was made. But today, in the midst of the geopolitical changes that we face and in all the backlash that LGBTIQ community is confronted with, we need to be active and bring people together more than ever! We think that every suppression always makes the suppressed stronger and this will also be the case with the LGBTIQ movement. Patience is for sure needed before things will turn good again. But this however does not result in idle time. It is crucial to become more active. We need role models, executives, public officials to stand out and be vocal. As a community, we need to be united and speak the same language. If our ask is inclusion, we need to walk the talk and act inclusively too by bringing everyone to the table and helping others to understand our needs. It is a social acceptance that we ask for, but that also has an economical rationale, something many times is forgotten. The East meets West Conference does not only reach out to the many business professionals and LGBTIQ advocacy organisations we work with, but we offer a balanced program of key speeches, active panel discussions, specialists interventions and master type classes to everybody who is interested in the well being and strengthening of the LGBTIQ community.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Conferences &amp; Events - PAVING A NEW WAY (2023)</image:title>
      <image:caption>June 16th, 2023 Vienna, Austria (in-person &amp; ONLINE) In the 10 years of our existence, East meets West witnessed a lot of gradual changes in the European LGBTIQ environment, especially in the CEE region, our focus sphere. Was there in the beginning a strong political influence of the ‘EU Way of life’, put down in anti-discrimination legislation that insured a safe living environment for minorities such as the LGBTIQ community, this came to a halt. Incompetence and especially foolhardiness poisoned this positive evolution. It slowed down the started innovations such as the marriage for all. But what saddened us most is that initially nameless groups of homophobic bigots became louder and more aggressive, supported by opportunistic politicians and extremist religious groups. How do we react to such negative evolution? The strategies we follow will have less or even no impact anymore when confronted with ruffians who use physical force to shut us up. East meets West wants in the 10th year of existence tackle in its International Conference, together with its wide community of partners, the challenging question of what is the best way to go forward with our LGBTIQ community.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Conferences &amp; Events - PICKING UP THE THREAD (2022)</image:title>
      <image:caption>22nd July 2022, BRATISLAVA (Slovakia) and ONLINE When planning the 2022 East meets West Conference, we were happy to leave, after 2 difficult years, the COVID pandemic behind us. We all needed to come back to our pre-COVID LGBTIQ activities. But then an even bigger disaster hit us, the military invasion of Ukraine by Russia. East meets West (EmW) has been partnering with all CEE countries, independent of the political system that the country had as EmW focuses on all LGBTIQ communities. We kept the original theme of the Conference as we cannot ignore the many changes that took place in the past 2 years, adding the new challenges caused by the military conflict of which the total impact cannot yet be measured. We will talk about the possibly changed role of the business world who entered actively the arena of Diversity &amp; Inclusion. EmW still considers them crucial partners for strengthening the LGBTIQ communities. But we will also give ample space and a voice to the situation of the many LGBTIQ groups that were forced to leave their country and are building a new network, still supporting the LGBTIQ community in their home regions.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Conferences &amp; Events - RIDING THE WAVES OF CHANGE (2021)</image:title>
      <image:caption>17th June 2021, ONLINE We used to live in a world that was perhaps not always peace full but it was never in complete turmoil. But this has changed and our LGBTIQ community as active player in society cannot ignore this reality. People have accepted new ways of communication so if we want to reach them, we need to speak a different language. We read about the 'New Normal’ but without knowing what it will mean for all of us. East meets West wants in the 2021 Conference tackle this very challenging topic and ask the question how to 'ride these waves of change' and create new opportunities.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Conferences &amp; Events - CONNECTING THE DOTS (2020)</image:title>
      <image:caption>12th June 2020, Vienna, Austria The world around us is constantly changing and asking from all of us flexibility in thinking and finding new ways to progress the LGBTI community. From governments and officials we see the support towards the work of the many NGO’s gradually decreasing. On the other hand, we have become aware of the potential of the changed perception of the Corporate Social Responsibility. This truly has a positive impact on the LGBTI community, including LGBTI businesses. Does it mean we have to change sides, abandon the social action and turn fully towards business? Not at all! East meets West believes that connecting the 2 dots, social action and a business focus, will boost our efforts in such a way that 1 + 1 = 3! In our Conference we showed how to connect the dots and boost the results of your efforts.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Conferences &amp; Events - BREAKING THROUGH THE GLASS CEILING (2019)</image:title>
      <image:caption>14th June 2019, Vienna, Austria The Business world remains the ultimate glass ceiling the LGBTIQ community needs to break through. Despite business being the biggest influencer of social change, by now we all only scratched the surface of its potential. The Conference told how to break through this final barrier, this ultimate glass ceiling. The agenda was filled with a variety of topics, treated by international speakers who will not only cover specific subjects, but gradually they will lead you to a better understanding of the Conference’s theme. When you read more about the 2019 event, it will become clear how also you can contribute in giving the LGBTIQ business community the necessary push to get their rightful place in the business community.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Inclusive Sourcing - What is it?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Supplier Inclusion is a positive action and a pro-active sourcing of products and services from previously under- used suppliers, which includes businesses owned by minorities, in order to reflect the demographics of the communities in which the business operates. The Self-registration provides a passport to proud LGBTIQ business owners to enter the scene of new, yet untapped business opportunities. A successful self-registration with the EGLCC represents the entry-level qualification to supplier inclusion programs of our corporate members. EGLCC’s corporate members can benefit from the one-stop access to the growing European network of LGBTIQ owned and operated businesses, as well the growing number of LGBTIQ Business Chambers. They can also benefit from the local, regional and international events organised by the EGLCC.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Inclusive Sourcing - Why it matters?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Inclusion in a Business environment covers many topics like the well known Workplace Inclusion, but also the way a business works with their suppliers is a crucial topic. If a company wants to be diverse and inclusive, it also should follow an inclusive policy when engaging with external suppliers. When we look closer at the part “minority owned businesses”, like LGBTIQ owned &amp; managed businesses, as suppliers to larger companies, they are clearly heavily underrepresented in the general pool of suppliers. The same goes for e.g. women owned businesses or businesses owned and operated by ethnic minorities. Why is this so? Larger companies have so-called procurement teams that take care of the contacts with external product providers and to get in this list of usual providers is almost impossible for smaller companies. If we want to improve this, we need to convince the large companies as well as government and public organisations to be diverse in working with minority businesses and include these when selecting suppliers. But we also need to have the smaller LGBTIQ owned and managed businesses to register as candidates for cooperation with large businesses and public authorities. LGBTIQ Chambers of Commerce and LGBTIQ Business Networks play an essential role in Supplier Inclusion. They educate the wider public on Supplier Inclusion, its rationales and benefits. By running a network of LGBTIQ owned and operated businesses they are their advocates and promoters and help discovering untapped business opportunities. Typically they offer registration and certifications.</image:caption>
