Black Trans Advocacy Conference
We are happy to announce our invitation to submit workshop proposals for the 11th Annual National Black Trans Advocacy Conference!
The Black Trans Advocacy Conference provides thought-provoking and stimulating forum opportunities for educators of all disciplines and experience levels to share practical ideas and best practices that advance black trans equality and that are particularly focused on ending the disparities faced by trans people in health, housing, employment and education.
Each year, the BTAC Annual Conference & Gala hosts over 500 attendees participating in 50 workshops and 5 summits. By presenting at an annual conference, you’ll have the opportunity to build your professional network and share your experience and ideas with others.
Our BTAC24 conference theme is “Believe in Tran Joy, Freedom & Victory”!
Help us to achieve our mission and bring our conference theme to life with your workshop proposal. We are looking for proposals to support the below general education, leadership and professional development workshops and training opportunities.
