Creating Change, Day 3: So Many Sessions, So Little Time!

I've been doing my best to cover as many events as possible over Day 1 and Day 2 of the Creating Change Conference in Denver, but today it was impossible to get to everything, even for a speedy guy like me! With over 75 smaller breakout sessions on every imaginable topic, today was a day you had to sit and map out (or plan with friends to try and get as much information as possible, of course using our amazing transgender equality pen).

What a great problem to have!

What really made me happy today was talking to other attendees about what session they went to and how they decided to go where. While many did go to sessions that matched their passions/work/organizations, the majority of people said they chose sessions on things they wanted to learn about- other parts of our movement and community they wanted to get involved in or had never been exposed to.

It was amazing to see the hunger to reach across the internal divides we often have within the LGBTQ community.
