Out in Tech Indianapolis | Queer X Design: A Talk with Andy Campbell

Join Out in Tech Indianapolis, Indy Design Week, and SEP on Tues, May 5 at 6:30p ET for a special discussion with Andy Campbell, author of Queer X Design. Andy will give a talk about the book that goes through the genesis of the project, as well as several examples of objects from the book to give a sense of breadth of LGBTQ production.

Your local Out in Tech team will introduce you to our speaker, and you’ll have a chance to ask him any questions and e-mingle and network with fellow LGBTQ+ techies in Indy.

We’ll send you the secure Zoom link & Password when you register.

Make sure to join the #indianapolis channel on the Out in Tech Slack, too.
