Conference Entertainment
Friday night brings a choice — sit back and enjoy the show, or enjoy it even more by being in the show!We're producing our own spectacular Transgender Talent Show!, and every conference attendee is invited (and encouraged!) to take part. You'll never find a friendlier audience, so whether you're a seasoned performer or taking your first steps on stage, this is a great opportunity to shine.
All types of acts are welcome — musical, comical, magical, theatrical, or what-have-you. Make sure to bring your music, instruments, costume, and/or props to the conference; and practice practice practice! Check out the conference schedule for sign-up and rehearsal sessions.
