The conference, which attracted over 300 attendees, a 25% increase from last year, attracts members of the kink, poly, and GLBTQA community from across the country. The conference which covers various topics and encourages thinking "beyond binary", the main message this year's conference, has been in existence since 2001 and put on by Transcending Boundaries Inc. On top of a vast selection of workshops and panels the conference also included workshops and a keynote by Kate Bornstein, a leader and game changer in the GLBTQ community, and an idol in many groups as well as an educator and speaker on gender binaries.
