Gender Spectrum Family Conference

The 3rd Annual Gender Spectrum Family Conference will take place
September 4 - 6, 2009 in Seattle, Washington, USA. Register Now!

We began this ground-breaking conference to meet the increasing need for information and support for families raising gender non-conforming, gender variant, and transgender children and adolescents. The conference brings 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 have the opportunity to meet and learn from one another as well. We 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.

2009 Gender Spectrum Family Conference

Last Year's Conference

We offer two full days of amazing presentations, panel discussions and interactive forums where parents can explore the issues related to raising children who do not fit into society’s current expectations of gender. While we're planning next year's conference, you may want to look over a sample of last year's programming.
