The Conference brings together members of LGBTIQ+ communities and allies working within the broad field of sexuality and gender studies, including academics, independent professional scholars, researchers, community historians and students.

This September we are headed back to Uralla! After such a successful inaugural Pride Outreach Lunch at this venue we couldn't go past repeating it especially as the food and atmosphere was so good!
We had 30 people at our last lunch at this venue and we hope to top that this time!
We love getting out into the wider communities and bringing people together. The connection these events create allow our community to grow and for us to build relationships with people who may struggle for support in smaller towns.
We'd love to see as many of you there as possible!
