  Our September Wake Up with Quorum networking breakfast will be in-person at Gigi's Cafe. 

  These breakfasts focus on roundtable networking and give attendees the chance to exchange business information, develop new prospects, and share a 60-second commercial. This networking event allows earlier risers to make the most of their busy morning and grow business through new connections and relationships. We also feature quick networking breakout sessions to share information about your business or organization, and get those referrals!

  Our (timed) 60-second pitches are very fun and yes it's okay to prep.  Don't forget that it’s great for other attendees to hear what you are looking to buy and who you want to meet, as well as what you are selling.

  New to Quorum?  
  Wake Up With Quorum (sponsored by Associated Bank) is usually held on the second Friday morning of every month at 8:00am, and is hosted by a Quorum member business. Wake Up With Quorum is a great alternative networking opportunity for members who are unable to attend events in the evening or prefer a smaller, more intimate environment. These networking events are a casual fun way to increase your networks, build your business and meet other community business leaders.  Quorum networking events are a perfect way to connect with new people, reignite existing contacts and start new conversations.

  Quorum's 32nd Annual

  National Coming Out Day Luncheon

  "...We will not win our rights by staying quietly in our closets..." (Harvey Milk)

  Many Journeys, One Minnesota

  ABOUT THE LUNCHEON:

  The journey to living openly and authentically is rarely a straight path—and never a solitary one. In every city, on every block, in every workplace and family, LGBTQ+ and Allied individuals are navigating brave and beautiful journeys to truth, self-expression, and belonging.

  Quorum’s National Coming Out Day Luncheon—the premier NCOD celebration in the country—gathers our community to uplift these stories of resilience, pride, and connection. This transformational event celebrates the power of living with authenticity at work, at home, and in the world. It reminds us that “coming out” is not a one-time moment but a lifelong, deeply personal journey—layered by culture, race, gender identity, ability, faith, and more.

  This year’s theme, Many Journeys, One Minnesota, reflects our shared commitment to building a state where everyone can bring their whole selves to everything they do—and be embraced for exactly who they are.

  In a time when LGBTQ+ visibility and inclusion face growing challenges across the country, our voices are more important than ever. Whether you're coming out as LGBTQ+, an ally—or on a path of self-discovery—your story has the power to shift hearts, open minds, and spark meaningful change.

  We invite you to join us for this powerful celebration of strength, courage, and pride. Together, we honor the many individual journeys that, woven together, create a more inclusive, vibrant, and united Minnesota.

  EVENT DETAILS: 

  • Friday, October 10, 2025
  • Luncheon: 11:45am-1:30pm
  • Marketplace Expo: 10:00am-1:30pm
  • Community Networking: 10:00am-11:00am

  SUPPORT THE NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY LUNCHEON:

  Quorum’s National Coming Out Day Luncheon is made possible through the generosity of our sponsors. Your support is more than a contribution—it’s an investment in a stronger, more inclusive community. Join us as a sponsor and help celebrate authenticity, elevate LGBTQ+ voices, and drive meaningful impact across Minnesota.

  NEW THIS YEAR:

  We have added a few new options for our registration system this year. For example, we have added a section for guests to enter their pronouns for their name tag and a section for lunch options.

  Name Tags: When prompted, please enter pronouns for you and your guests. If you do not know the pronouns of your guest(s), please enter "unknown"

  Food Preferences: When prompted, please select the preferred meal for your guests. The default will be a house salad and the chicken option.

  Sponsors and other Tables of 10: We will send you a form to complete for your guest list that includes the above questions and we will enter your information into the system for you.

  Thank you so much!
