About TBC 2014
The Transcending Boundaries Conference brings together sexuality, relationship and gender minorities for three days of education, activism and community building. The weekend event includes workshops, discussion groups, social events and a community meal with a keynote address. Past keynotes included Kate Bornstein, Ignacio Rivera and Lee Harrington.
Our next conference will take place April 4-6 of 2014 at the Hartford Sheraton at Bradley Airport! In the past we have use convention center space but we're thrilled to be moving the entire conference into a hotel. We believe having TBC in a hotel will help to foster the feeling of community that is central to TBC's philosophy. We'll let you know as soon as reservations open and our staff will be working with the hotel to meet all accessibility needs and provide transportation information.
Our 2014 conference theme is "Inclusion In Action." TBC strives to be inclusive to people representing all aspects of the gender, sexuality and relationship spectrum and we're thrilled to be highlighting that this year. It'll be a while before we start requesting presentations proposals so now is a great time to think about what you could add to our programming.
