Aces and Aros at Creating Change 2017 in Philadelphia!
Hi Everyone!
If any of you are thinking about attending Creating Change this year or plan to submit proposals, please let us know. We’re working with a bunch of other ace and aro people and organizers and we’ve just started the process of proposal drafting for 2.0 topics. We’ve learned that the more panels we submit the more we can get accepted, so anyone who feels comfortable leading or co-leading let us know. Also, if you’re interested in helping, but not submitting something yourself that is also very appreciated.
Aces Wild also hosted the first ever Ace & Aro Hospitality Suite last ear and we are doing so again this year. In the suite there are lots more casual things like group lunches and dinners and hangouts. That means you can come hang out even if you just plan on attending and not running a workshop.
Since we’re independently hosting the ace/aro suite this year it is still open to non-badged attendees (i.e. free!).
If you’d be interested in joining the facebook group, send us a direct message, email at [email protected], or find us on facebook!
About Creating Change:
CC is the big annual conference for all the big-name LGBTQ organizers, with an emphasis on professional development, and it’s happening in January 18-22 in Philadelphia for 2017.
It’s one of the best ways for the ace community to form connections with big-name LGBT leaders and formal LGBT organizers. It’s also super expensive to attend (like $200+ reg fees, plus travel and hotel costs….) but there are some limited student and low-income scholarships and the like – though I’ve heard they are hard to get so if you want to try for one you should apply as soon as they open.
You can also volunteer a certain number of hours to get free admission on the days you volunteer.
