Queer Science reframes our understanding of science. From Sir Francis Bacon, founder of the scientific method, to Florence Nightingale, statistician and mother of modern nursing, scientists from the LGBTQIA+ community have shaped the way in which we interact with this world. Join us on the journey of understanding how outstanding and brilliant minds from the LGBTQIA+ community have changed our world.
This is not a lecture, but an interactive experience. It is a unique celebration of queer people and showcases how, despite incredible odds, scientists from George Washington Carver to Alan Turing built completely new fields of thinking. Your team will be transported by our live-streaming guide in San Francisco, California, showing important locations in history like the San Francisco Women’s Building and the Rainbow Honor Walk.
And, make it an extra special event with our Pride Celebration Box featuring LGBTQIA+-owned and allies’ products.
This is NOT a lecture, but an interactive experience. It is a unique celebration of LGBTQ+ history.
This event is available year-round!

What ROI does this experience provide?
The embedded corporate value in this experience is innovate courageously and to celebrate differences.

Pride Booking Details
Is this event only appropriate for LGBTQ+ employees? Should we open this event to all employees?
First of all, we encourage you to invite employees — all of them of all sexual orientations! — to your event. Secondly, this is a celebration of LGBTQ+ achievement that everyone will enjoy, allies included.
Can we add on guest speakers?
If you would like to add guest speakers, that is possible.
However, we have found that teams get optimal engagement with a 60 minute event. Our Pride-themed experience is one hour in length, so adding on a guest speaker would lengthen your experience. If you’d like to start with opening remarks under 3 minutes, it will not cut into the time of the event, as we work corporate opening remarks into our events.
Do you have other virtual Pride month ideas?
Yes, we have many virtual Pride month ideas, including preparing a Pride playlist, holding lunch and learn events (including our own), holding Pride month Happy Hours, or creating a book club.
Further, you can see all of our suggestions for Pride celebrations for Employee Resource Groups and Diversity and Inclusion groups at the following links:
And, reach out to us if you have more questions on how to celebrate Pride Month!
Are the guides on the Pride experience LGBTQ+?
Yes, our lead guide on this experience will be a member of the LGBTQ+ community. We do not have drag queens on our events.
That being said, as a company focused on inclusion, we include diverse guides to lead all our events.
Can you offer a shorter event?
Because our Pride events include a carefully researched and produced event, it cannot be less than 60 minutes.
Pride Treat Box Details
What do the Treat Boxes include?
First, LGBTQ+-owned restaurants provide the food in the Treat Boxes. In addition, we include treats or items from queer business owners.
In fact, companies love being able to support LGBTQ+ businesses. Plus, the small business treats from the United States will be shipped to your team.
Do we need the Treat Boxes?
No, the Treat Boxes are optional to enhance the experience. However, the Treat Boxes allow your team to support awesome LGBTQ+-owned small businesses and support the LGBTQ community.
