An event to bring awareness to the specific needs and special circumstances within the Trans community, and educate all those open to gaining new insights and knowledge of this special group within the LGBT.

The conference weekend kicks off Friday night with our keynote speaker, Luis Garcia, followed by a fun-filled Variety show performed by Peterson Toscano, including hilarious excepts from Queer 101-Now I know my gA,B,C's and Ho Mo No Mo Halfway House.

Saturday you'll have the opportunity to enjoy hearing and learning from well-known speakers on issues within the Trans community, as well as attend educational workshops to enlighten you on the day-to-day lives of Trans men, women and youth. Speakers on Saturday include Donna Rose (Activist & Blogger) Dr. Rebecca Allison (DrBecky.com), Allyson Robinson (HRC), and Kim Pearson (TransYouth Family Allies).

Speaker for the Saturday Dinner will be Arizona's own Rep. Kyrsten Sinema.

Saturday night brings another great performance by Peterson, this time with his play " Transfigurations- Transgressing Gender in the Bible".

Sunday morning, wake up to a inclusive and welcome service at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Phoenix, followed by an Outdoor All-Ages Trans & Allies Community Picnic at Papago Park, complete with an MC and Entertainment, games for the kids and adults, and the chance to interact with the many people within our diverse community.
