TransOhio Trans & Ally Symposium 2023: "Coming Together”
Requests for Proposals (RFPs) are NOW OPEN for this year's TransOhio Trans & Ally Symposium! Presented in partnership with MetroHealth and hosted by Baldwin Wallace University, the 14th Annual TransOhio Trans & Ally Symposium: "Coming Together," will take place from Friday, September 29, 2023, thru Sunday, October 1, 2023, at Strosacker Hall on campus at Baldwin Wallace in Berea, Ohio.
This is TransOhio's first largescale in-person event since 2019, and we cannot wait to see you! This is also the first time the Symposium has left Columbus... but don't worry - to create a more accessible event, the TransOhio Board of Directors has decided to plan for the Symposium to move across the state as well as to continue to provide remote attendance options. We plan to return to Columbus. But first: COMING TOGETHER in Northeast, Ohio.
RFPS will close at 11:59pm on Friday, March 31, 2023. There are no age requirements and no previous speaking experience is necessary. Please email topic suggestions to submissions@transohio.org and submit proposals at https://tinyurl.com/tohio14
