pre-conference activities earlier in the week. There will be daytime
workshops addressing all aspects of transgender experiences and
concerns.
 
After dark, THREE nights of fun!

Clark at the Friday Dinner Buffet and headliner Georgie Jessup at the Gala
Banquet
Saturday Night.

Spring is a great time to be in Philadelphia. Flowers are blooming,
the scenery is beautiful, and the city is welcoming to the Trans
community. There's lots to do! Shopping, sightseeing, fabulous high
and low (mmm-cheesesteaks! ) dining, Great art and entertainment.
As befits the Cradle of Liberty, the City Center reveals important
historical landmarks around almost every corner.
 
Featured Speakers at the Conference:

Stephanie Battaglino - Thursday Morning Plenary
 
'Unity in Diversity: A Need for Connectedness'
 
The transgender community is, without question,
the most uniquely diverse community within a diverse community. If we
are to successfully "move the needle" with respect to equality for all
transgender persons, we simply must embrace our collective uniqueness
and to do that we must be more connected with each other.

Mona Rae Mason - Friday Keynote Speaker
 
'Generativity Within The Transgender Community'

If we knew then what we know now, and what can we offer to our younger
transgender sisters and brothers? Citing generational and other
differences within the greater transgender community, and narrative
response data from participants in The Transgender Project, a thought
provoking conversation on what we can each do to "give something back."

Helen Boyd - Saturday Keynote Speaker
 
'How We Love You: Let Us Count the Ways'
 
This engaging keynote discussion by Helen Boyd will address
the many ways partners display their love to their trans significant
others.
Helen's focus will center around issues of identity, intimacy,
compromise, sex, family, and marriage.
