The Mitchell Madison Group has provided early corporate support. Increasingly, corporate America is recognizing that if it is to recruit the best employees, it must reach out to gay men and lesbians. Julie Palen, the founder of InterNoded Inc. and one of the 1998 OUT 100, will be the morning keynote speaker. During the day, the conference will offer two panel sessions organized by students at Wharton and Columbia that will address workplace issues and the Internet marketplace, respectively. The conference will close with the afternoon keynote speech by Walter Schubert, founder of the Gay Financial Network and the first openly gay member of the New York Stock Exchange.
