Our San Francisco Bay Area group is proud to partner with the AIA Bay Area Young Architects (BAYA) and the SEAONC Structural Engineering, Engagement, and Equity (SE3) Committee for a one-of-a-kind evening of networking, celebration, and trivia in honor of Harvey Milk Day. In an industry that often keeps us in our own professional silos, this event is designed to spark intentional collaboration by mixing queer and ally professionals into multi-disciplinary trivia teams. Set in "The Shop" at Gantri Studio—a historic SOMA space rooted in San Francisco’s legacy of radical LGBTQ+ expression—the evening honors Harvey Milk through community, education, and pure queer joy. Whether you're here for the cross-industry connections or the high-energy drag performance, you'll leave with your social and professional cups full.
