Event Details

In a nutshell

The first Global Feminist LBQ Women*s Conference will take place from 6-9 July 2019 in South Africa. The conference is being organized by a collective working group of 22 LBQ women* activists from across all regions of the world.

We hope to bring together 500 participants from around the world.

DELEGATE INVITATION

All delegates are invited to join together on the 5th of July 2019 from 17:30 to 20:30 for the official opening of the first ever Global Feminist LBQ Women's* conference in Cape Town. The evening will begin with a cleansing ritual, followed by dance, discussions and general jubilee as we create a sacred space for healing, leading and transformation. Rest up before coming as it's going to be spectacular!

EXTRA WORKSHOPS

We have created a formidable programme of over 50 workshops and panels with over 150 presenters. However, we recognise that certain voices are routinely silenced and rare opportunities exist to raise the diverse realities facing LBQ women and non-binary people. Therefore, we have created space for spontaneous extra workshops, especially for those who are not already presenting or for topics not already covered in the programme. At least two rooms will be available during every session timeslot.For the boardroom (a smaller room), participants may book themselves in on the day. For the larger room, participants may submit their ideas once the programme starts. Any extra workshops in the larger room will be announced in the notices the following morning. We have the venue to ourselves and, in the evenings, every space is available for your use.
