Celebrating 25 years of dbPride at Deutsche Bank

Last week, Deutsche Bank marked a milestone: 25 years of dbPride, their global LGBTQ+ employee network. Founded in 2000 and powered by volunteers, dbPride is their largest employee network with 900+ members in Germany, regional groups and global reach.

The evening was opened by Anke Hallmann, together with Jon Tilli and other members of the dbPride SteerCo, setting the tone for thoughtful conversations about inclusion and allyship. A panel moderated by Jo Labecka from the PROUT AT WORK-Foundation explored why employee networks are as vital today as ever, with voices from partner networks of Lufthansa and Commerzbank AG.

From live vocals from Mark Kellam II to a standout drag performance, the celebration was about creativity, courage and the power of showing up as your whole self.
