Presenter Call
We at TranseventsUSA and the local Albany coordinators are already at work on programs and workshops to make the Empire Conference even better in 2011! The theme will be Politics, Sex, And Gender — and you can look forward to many new and exciting programs and speakers. Expect several panel discussions and lively audience participation programs. We are also looking for presenters to address local issues. We are accepting program proposals now. Read the conference Presenter Call...

The 2010 Conference featured numerous well known community leaders, authors, and speakers.

We hope to have all of them back in 2011, along with lots of new faces.

Of course there's lots of organizing yet to do, but on the social and fun side, we're already thinking about adding more things-to-do, while improving on this year's activities:
