The Transcending Boundaries Conference is a lively weekend of education, social activism, research, and support for persons whose sexual orientation, sexuality, gender identity, sex, or relationship style do not fit within the binary confines of male or female, gay or straight, monogamous or single.  The seventh Transcending Boundaries Conference will be held Friday November 19, 2010 through Sunday November 21, 2010 at The DCU Center and the Worcester Hilton Garden Inn in Worcester Massachusetts.

Everyone who is interested in the issues surrounding living life  as  bisexual, omnisexual, pansexual, queer, transgender, transsexual,  cross-dresser, transvestite, genderqueer, or intersex, as well as those who practice consensual polyamorous and/or kink relationships is invited to this exciting weekend.  Even those who have never quite found a word  to describe themselves will enjoy this weekend celebration of who we are.

The Transcending Boundaries Conference offers a wide variety of educational workshops  that cover a broad spectrum of topics of  interest. There are many  opportunities  for support, organizing, activism and entertainment to help learn about and celebrate who we are as a community.   Many who attend the Transcending Boundaries Conference leave feeling like they really do fit in and with renewed excitement to live life as the person they were meant to be. We hope to see you there.

He is a nice guy with a disarmingly down to earth approach to the fact that we are each beautifully complex ecosystems, and we deserve to examine the human experience from that lens. Share

Less than two days for programming proposals for Transcending Boundaries!

We are thrilled to announce that the Transcending Boundaries Conference for 2010 is accepting proposals for presentations! This year's theme is "Intersections."  In keeping with the theme, our emphasis will be on programming that appeals to the different demographic groups present at our conference; presentations that have something for everyone in attendance.  We hope to look at the intersections of our identities and communities- bisexual, pansexual, transgender, genderqueer, intersex, kink, polyamorous and others- especially how we can learn from one another and work together to strengthen our individual communities, as well as our larger shared community and goals.

Transcending Boundaries, Inc. began in 2001 as an organization and conference for those who blur the lines of sex, gender, and sexual orientation.  We are seeking presenters and program participants. This year's conference will include a variety of programming formats ranging from traditional informational lectures to panels to workshops to performances and everything in between. Whether you're an experienced presenter or interested in leading a group for the first time, we'd love to consider your proposal.

All time slots for presentations will be 1 hour and 15 minutes.  The Transcending Boundaries Conference 2010 will take place November 19-21, 2010 in Worcester, MA.  The deadline for submission is August 15, 2010.

We are especially interested in presentations that address one of (or intersect) the following themes:

* Issues related to those who blur the lines of sex, gender, sexual and relationship orientations, including the Bisexual, Pansexual, Transgender, Genderqueer, Intersex, Kinky/BDSM, Polyamory and other allied communities.  (If your community is not listed here but you think should it be, this is the perfect opportunity to educate the larger community through a program proposal!) 101 and Intro level topics are specifically encouraged.


* Activism
* Relationships, Families and Parenting
* Spirituality and Religion
* Interactions with Professionals and Health Care Issues
* Writing/Creative arts
* Identity and Community
