Recently
the spotlight was centered on Dennis Philipse at #TEDxWanchai, as he
spoke about his personal journey as a champion for LGBT+ inclusiveness,
experiences with Gay Games 2022 Hong Kong and how sport can be used as a
business case for education and increased LGBT+ acceptance.
Dennis
is Co-Chair of the Hong Kong Bidding Team that won the rights to host
the 2022 Gay Games in Hong Kong, an amazing win that will mark the 40th
anniversary of the Federation of Gay Games event, as well as earning

to help communities to make a difference. I’m still recovering. Thank
you #TEDxWanchai, amazing team and great audience! More official images
