This year, OutSummit will be the pre-cursor to our annual Advocacy Week at the United Nations, where LGBTIQ activists sit across the table from the world’s most pivotal governments and UN officials to name their priorities and demand accountability. Join us on Saturday, December 7 to take part in exciting conversation regarding the strategies of LGBTIQ activists globally.
Over 40 activists will be arriving in New York City to share their experiences advocating for LGBTIQ people around the world and learn together in a collaborative environment. During OutSummit, you will hear from these activists through panels, workshops, and presentations.
This year as a keynote speaker, OutRight will feature Victor Madrigal-Borloz – the United Nations Independent Expert on protection from violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
In past OutSummits, OutRight has featured LGBTIQ advocates from countries like Iraq, Egypt, Germany, Argentina and China, and it has featured speakers like the US Special Envoy for LGBTI Rights and Joy Belmonte, Vice-Mayor of the largest city in the Philippines – and even Karamo Brown from Queer Eye himself! As more details come in, they can be found on OutSummit.org
