SUMMARY:Leading with Authenticity
DESCRIPTION:The most powerful thing you can bring to a room is exactly who you are. Right now\, that takes more courage than ever. \n\n\n\nJoin sfBIG for an intimate Pride month celebration honoring researchers\, executives\, and entrepreneurs across media and marketing who’ve built careers and companies by being unapologetically themselves and by deliberately making space for others to do the same. \n\n\n\nOur speakers have done the real work: building media brands with genuine civic voice\, using data as a tool for inclusion\, shifting how organizations actually show up for LGBTQIA+ communities\, and marketing healthcare to a historically underserved population. They know that authenticity and advocacy aren’t just values; in the right hands\, they’re the most powerful strategy in the room.Brilliant minds\, honest conversation\, and a community that shows up for each other. Don’t miss it! 🏳️‍🌈 \n\n\n\n\n\nConfirmed Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGriffin Gaffney\,  | CEO\, The SF Standard \n\n\n\n\nGriffin co-founded The San Francisco Standard in 2021 and built it into one of the fastest-growing news outlets in the country — millions of readers\, zero algorithmic shortcuts. His formula: serious journalism with real personality\, and a newsroom that earns its audience. A former founding member of Stripe’s sales team who’s lived and worked across Asia\, Africa\, and Europe — and an Ironman triathlete — Griffin brings the same drive to The Standard that he brings to everything else. He lives in Noe Valley with his husband and dog\, and he’ll speak to what it means to build a media brand with a genuine point of view in a diverse city that demands one. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSneha Ghosh | EVP of Data\, Monks \n\n\n\n\nA twenty-year force in global media analytics\, Sneha has architected the data infrastructure behind some of the world’s most recognized brands — driving 5x campaign efficiency and measurable growth across Levi’s\, Microsoft\, American Express\, and beyond. As a staunch ally and agency leader\, she’ll bring a rare and honest perspective: how do you use data not just to measure performance\, but to protect and scale diverse voices? What does it look like to architect space for inclusion — not just advocate for it? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHaley Everheart | CMO\, FOLX Health \n\n\n\n\nAs a queer executive\, marketer\, and parent\, Haley has spent 15+ years building brands rooted in trust\, storytelling\, and cultural relevance — most recently as CMO of FOLX Health\, an LGBTQIA+-focused healthcare company serving people across the US. Their work has been covered by CNN\, Forbes\, Teen Vogue\, and Fast Company. Haley will speak to what it means to build audience trust when the stakes are personal — and how authenticity stops being a brand strategy and becomes a form of advocacy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerated by Christie James \n\n\n\n\nHost of Morning Drive with Christie Live on 80s + 103.7FM and On-Air Host on PRIDE Radio\, Christie brings a career arc unlike anyone else in the room. She began as a US Navy journalist — stationed in Italy\, then Washington D.C. as a member of the Presidential Honor Guard under President Clinton — before the world of radio pulled her in. She arrived in the Bay Area in 2003 as an intern and built her way up through stations across the region into one of the most recognized voices in the market. A sought-after DJ and a natural connector\, Christie doesn’t just moderate conversations — she shapes them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKim Tran |  Co-Founder\, Desai Tran \n\n\n\n\n\nKim Tran\, PhD is an award-winning organizational changemaker who helps leading media organizations to create teams with the highest possible reach. Using a combination of qualitative research and best practices Kim has supported Adroll\, Google\, Meta\, and Paramount Global in their efforts to ensure that LGBTQIA+ people are seen\, heard\, and celebrated. For her contributions to the community\, the California Legislature’s LGBT Caucus selected Kim as Pride Honoree in 2021. She has been on NPR’s “It’s Been a Minute\,” PBS NewHour\, Red Table Talk\, MSNBC and profiled for Politico magazine.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you to our Welcome Sponsor Life360 Ads \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThank you to our Culture partner iHeartMedia \n\n\n\n\nReach out to Sponsorship@sfBIG.org for Sponsorship Opportunities \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRefund PolicyWe understand that plans can change. However\, all ticket purchases are final and non-refundable.
