The Austin LGBT Chamber of Commerce is throwing a casual happy hour to celebrate Colton Ashabranner and send him off as he closes out 4½ incredible years on staff. Grab a drink, share memories, and help raise a glass to someone who's been central to building community and championing LGBTQ+ businesses in Austin. No formal program — just good people and a proper goodbye.

National Coming Out Day gets a celebration with purpose — a ribbon cutting for Out of the Closet, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation's thrift store on Guadalupe. Three hours to show up, show support, and be part of a community-driven moment that honors both visibility and the work these organizations do.

A full-day summit for small business owners and military families looking to level up their tech game. Workshops cover everything from Google My Business and branding to AI and accounting software—all facilitated in English and Spanish. You'll get 1-on-1 support, networking with other business owners and tech providers, and a light lunch included. Bring your laptop and leave with practical tools to actually use.

The Austin LGBT Chamber's monthly happy hour is where Austin's LGBTQ+ professionals, entrepreneurs, and community leaders actually connect—no pretense, just good conversation and a chance to build real relationships. Free to attend and open to everyone, it's the kind of low-key networking that happens over a drink with people who get it. Whether you're a longtime member or just curious about the community, this is your invitation to mix, mingle, and be part of something that matters.
