Trans Pride Brighton and Hove (TPBH) take over organising the annual Trans, Non-Binary and Intersex (TNBI) Conference!
FOLLOWING feedback from the wider TNBI communities that the conference should be TNBI-lead, it was agreed amongst the cities’ Trans Sub-group and partners, that it was in the best interest of the TNBI communities to make this happen.
Upon receiving confirmation of receiving the booking of the Sallis Benney Theatre in kind from University of Brighton, in addition to practical support from Brighton and Hove City Council, TPBH are now able to get the ball rolling with this new and exciting project.
They aim for this years’ conference to be even better, and most valuable to trans, non-binary and intersex communities, while including both grass-roots and academic interests.
The 2019 Conference will be curated by the newly appointed Conference Lead Committee Member of TPBH, Kate Hutchinson.
Kate says: “I’m really excited to join the Trans Pride Brighton team in this role. With Trans Pride becoming the host organisation for the conference we hope to highlight community voices that are far to often unheard and bring substantially more community input into the direction of the event.”
“We would like to invite people from the TNBI communities to submit proposals for either a 20 minute presentation or ideas for a 1 hour workshop. Proposals should include a short outline of what you would like to talk about, a brief introduction about yourself in whatever form you think represents it well such as written, video audio, multi-media etc.”
Submit your proposal to conference@transpridebrighton.org by May 1 2019.
Submissions are encouraged and particularly welcome from trans, non-binary and intersex people who are from the Black And Minority Ethnic communities, those with disabilities or identify as being neurodivergent, sex workers and other under-represented minorities or groups.
