Be a Presenter at the

BTAC25 Black Trans Advocacy Conference

This initiative is made possible thanks to the generous support of our donors and sponsors who contribute to our conference fundraisers. Together, we are building a stronger and more inclusive community.

The 12th Annual National Black Trans Advocacy Conference serves as a dynamic and engaging platform for educators, advocates, and professionals from all backgrounds and experience levels to share innovative ideas and effective strategies that promote Black trans equality.

This year, we invite you to contribute to this transformative event by submitting proposals for workshops that address the critical disparities faced by trans people in areas such as health, housing, employment, and education.

Submit your workshop proposal today and be a part of this groundbreaking conference!


If you want to learn or impact our Black Trans Community, you need to be at events where we gather and talk about our issues.
