OUT ON BAY STREET CONFERENCE Sponsorship Package 2018 Presented By:

Our Mission Start Proud facilitates the professional development of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer & Ally (LGBTQ+) students as they transition from school to career in order to build a national network within the LGBTQ+ community.

Letter From The President Start Proud has always been an organization run by and for the courageous, the ambitious, and the persevering. It is an organization where people don t wait for the perfect moment, the perfect time, or the perfect situation to realize their ambitions and achieve their potential. No, Start Proud is not of the idle. Here, we create the perfect moment, we ensure the perfect timing, we facilitate the perfect situation. 2017 was no exception and Start Proud stayed true to our spirit. Complimenting the 25+ national events we facilitated throughout the year, the ever illustrious Venture Out Conference, and our growing national membership is the Out On Bay Street Conference. Once again, the conference was a success with over 400 people in attendance at the grand gala dinner. Our keynote speakers included Brian Mosteller, Special Assistant and Director of Oval Office Operations to Former U.S. President Barack Obama, Lucy Zhao, Product Marketing Lead at Plivo and former Out On Bay Street President, and Ken Aber, the maker of the Bell Let s Talk campaign. We introduced the Presented by Start Proud sessions which aimed to address emerging industry topics such as Blockchain and offered a space for sponsors to collaborate on ideas as was done during the Gender Spectrum session. In addition, we launched our first auxiliary recruitment event - an intimate law social exclusive to the keenest conference registrants. We curated a 1:1 student to sponsor ratio to facilitate strong recruitment opportunities. In 2017, we tried to let the dust settle from the changes of 2016. Alas, we were not able to. Demand for more events, more initiatives and more contact with sponsors didn t let us. Quite frankly, that s a great problem to have and we are enthusiastic about giving our members what they ask for: more. Nina Rakic President Start Proud 2

ABOUT START PROUD In our 12th year, Start Proud is lucky to have four thriving lines of business under its umbrella: the Out On Bay Street Conference, the Venture Out Conference, the Leaders To Be Proud Of awards and the nationally run Start Proud Networking Initiatives. In conjunction with one another, these brands facilitate the professional development of LGBTQ+ students and young professionals as they grow throughout their careers. In order to better realize our mission we underwent a re-branding exercise in in 2016. However, the Out On Bay Street conference has been our largest and most recognized event since the organization s inception. Start Proud will continue to brand this event as Out On Bay Street because it is the premier gathering for LGBTQ+ recruits on Bay Street and within the GTA. In addition to hosting the Out On Bay Street conference, Start Proud will host Venture Out Canada s first conference for LGBTQ+ inclusion in tech and entrepreneurship. The nationally run monthly socials will continue to serve their purpose of facilitating important recruitment connections and building a national community of professional LGBTQ+ mentees and mentors.
