In his session, âBeyond the Rainbow: Rethinking LGBTQ+ Marketing in a Polarized World,â Aidan will challenge the industry to move past surface-level rainbow campaigns and embrace Emotional DNA â with marketing thatâs bold, unapologetically real, and rooted in authentic queer voices and values. You can expect real voices, interactive moments, and a powerful call to action for travel brands. If you're attending IGLTA2025, donât miss this session.
