Events

Blackout Tuesday has committed to holding quarterly events through 2030 to engage and educate on issues affecting Black communities.

We recognise that exploring issues around ‘race’ and systemic inequality can be challenging and uncomfortable; we seek to hold a space in which discomfort and learning can coexist, and we recognise that the learning journey is never complete for any of us. Especially if you are someone who has experienced racism, please think about what you will need to take care of yourself after as well as during these sessions, to support your wellbeing and enable you to participate mindfully and derive your maximum learning benefit.

    In the Blackout Tuesday ethos of looking back to move forward, the Blackout Tuesday Partnership took the opportunity to assess the last 3.5 years of work it has done to address systemic inequity in the venture capital and startup space. To do this, we reviewed the output and outcomes to date, recommitted to our stated purpose, and set goals for how to produce tangible outcomes.
