Queer Career: LGBTIQ+ & Allies

Queer Career: LGBTIQ+ & Allies

On 29 May 2026, Strategy&/PwC in Amsterdam is organising the Queer Career: LGBTIQ+ & Allies event. This day is specifically designed to introduce you to the PwC Advisory practice, which includes Strategy&. During the event, participants will be taken through the dynamics of the work and shown how diversity, inclusion and allyship play an important role within the company.

You will meet colleagues from Strategy&, Deals and Consulting. The event includes personal stories and experiences from a diverse group of role models and professionals within PwC Advisory. During a panel discussion, participants will explore the working environment together and discover what it is like to work there as an LGBTIQ+ professional or ally in an open, safe and supportive culture. After a shared lunch, the programme continues with an interactive workshop and concludes with a social networking drink at Bar Buka in Amsterdam.
