The OPEN Foundation Affirming Career Fairs have a different vibe - they're safe spaces where LGBTQIA+ and marginalized professionals can show up authentically, connect with genuinely inclusive employers, and access free resources that empower career growth. In Madison, Wisconsin, we're creating the career development experiences our community deserves: warm welcomes, intentional inclusion, and opportunities that celebrate your authentic self. The Spring 2026 theme: Ready, Set, Glow!
For Job Seekers: Discover employers we deem inclusive and safe. Get your "passport" and we'll uplift you from there.
For Employers: Connect with and inspire exceptional talent in Wisconsin's most engaged LGBTQ+ professional community.
OPEN’s Spring Career Fair is designed to be a gender-affirming and inclusive experience for all attendees.
To support a safe environment, the event will take place in a secure venue, and entry will require an ID.
