Gender Spectrum Family Conference

About Our Conference

During the 2008 Labor Day weekend in Seattle, Washington, we will hold the second annual family-centered conference for people raising gender non-conforming, gender variant, and transgender children and adolescents.

Save the date: August 30th – 31st.

We began this ground-breaking conference to meet the increasing need of families for information and support. The conference is an opportunity to bring together people from all over to connect with one another, meet with experts in the field, share our stories, find support, gather current information, and come to a better understanding of our journey as parents.

Our children will have the opportunity to meet and learn from one another as well. We'll have workshops for teens, and supervised activities for younger children. Meeting other gender non-conforming children and teens helps to give our children a sense of belonging and to clarify their own personal experience. No two children are alike, and for gender variant kids, this opportunity can help solidify who they are, as well as who they are not. This can be invaluable for kids as well as parents—knowing that you and your child are not alone is empowering for the whole family.
