What's Up with BTAC2026

Full Conference Registation & Hotel

Welcome to BTAC26: Rooted Liberation — The Big Easy Journey to Peace Within & Freedom Together.

We’re Celebrating Our 15th Year of Serving the Black Trans Community!  This Year BTAC Goes Big Easy and is more than a conference—it’s a retreat-style experience designed to support healing, growth, and collective freedom across mind, body, and soul.

 

Full Conference Registation

BTAC26 Full Conference Registration Fee: $450

Your conference registration includes full access to all daytime programming, conference meals, an optional Certificate opportunity, and featured conference events

Conference registration does not automatically reserve tickets for evening events. All attendees must RSVP for each featured event they plan to attend so we can plan food, seating, and space responsibly

Early registration discounts are available. Registration rates increase as the conference approaches to support planning, staffing, and on-site costs.

Register early to save on your registration fee, guarantee your conference T-shirt, and secure one of the limited conference seats available for BTAC26.
