On June 1, 2023, BuildOUT California hosted the world’s largest gathering of LGBTQ/Allied businesses and professionals in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction for the official ‘Kick-Off’ to LGBTQ Pride Month across the United States with our FOUNDERS DAY 2023: ENGAGE Gala & Awards Dinner, at the InterContinental Hotel Los Angeles Downtown in the Wilshire Grand Center.
After the incredible success of our inaugural Founders Day in 2022, this year we showcased even more extraordinary LGBTQ/Allied firms who are breaking down the ’concrete ceiling' based on their experience, qualifications and capacity. Please view the event photos below.

We were also proud to present the Founders Day 2023 Golf Tournament and Reception at Skylinks at Long Beach Golf Course in Long Beach, California. View Golf Tournament photos here.
