Our International LGBTQ+ Leaders Conference is a unique three-day experience that brings together more than 700 LGBTQ+ elected officials and leaders from across the United States and world. U.S. senators, state legislators, city council members and other leaders join our corporate partners in strategizing how to move forward equality legislation and other public policies that affect all our communities. The networking, skills-building and policy conversations these LGBTQ+ leaders participate in have a profound effect on where our movement directs its energy next – and that is why our partners find the conference invaluable.
