Pride Luncheon

This event: Has LGBTQ content, Is LGBTQ hosted, May be of interest to the LGBTQ community || Join us for the fourth annual Pride Luncheon in Appleton!

Celebrate Pride with the Wisconsin LGBT Chamber at our Pride Luncheon in Appleton on Wednesday, June 24, 2026 (11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.). Join us as we recognize the progress made for the LGBTQ community and discuss the work that still needs to be done as we work towards full equality.

Inspiring speakers will share their story and vision for a more inclusive world. You’ll also have the opportunity to network with other members of the LGBTQ community and our allies, as well as a delicious lunch. Vegetarian and vegan options available.

Our keynote speaker, Marc VandeWettering, is entering his second season as the UW men’s basketball general manager after serving the past eight seasons as the program’s director of operations. The 2026-27 season will be VandeWettering’s 15th season overall working with the Wisconsin men’s basketball program.
