Creating Change Conference
PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES February 17-21, 2023 Hilton San Francisco Union Square creatingchange.org #CC23
The annual Creating Change Conference is a signature program of the National LGBTQ Task Force and the largest queer convening in the United States. For over three decades, Creating Change has offered the most diverse and impactful political and leadership trainings for the LGBTQ movement. More than a conference, it is a transformative and life-changing experience for our 3,500+ annual attendees and has been the birthplace of several national LGBTQ organizations and countless collegial partnerships that have taken root in local communities.
Creating Change 2023 will mark a milestone 50th anniversary for the National LGBTQ Task Force. Held in the historic queer mecca of San Francisco, the convening will kick off a year-long celebration of the Task Force’s leadership as the oldest and longest-serving LGBTQ advocacy organization in the United States. Sponsors of this year’s conference will enjoy elevated visibility on our biggest stage yet alongside some of today’s most influential progressive leaders and activists. Join us to commemorate 50 years of building a future where everyone is free to be themselves in every aspect of their lives.
No other conference does what Creating Change does. Period.”
“ “ “
The heart of Creating Change is that it brings so many people together. It allows queer activists to find and learn from each other and share common links.
These connections happen in every aspect of the conference, and they are lasting.”
“
Creating Change taught
me that we can dream of and work toward things that sound impossible, even to us, and achieve them.”
There’s nothing like it. People walk away with information, a new network, and a safe place to be out and proud… It creates a strong sense of community and home that you can’t find anywhere else.”
