It’s big and bold, international and inspiring. That’s how I’d describe both New York City, and our hugely successful Annual Global Convention—which took over NYC for four amazing days last week.

The nation’s capital boasts one of the most demographically diverse and LGBTQ+ inclusive cities
in the world, and is consistently ranked as one of the Top 3 LGBTQ+ populated cities in the US. 

As our 36th Annual Global Convention draws near—24-27 April, in New York City—we are putting the finishing touches on a diverse range of educational opportunities that speak to our broad range of convention attendees across all industry sectors. On 25 April, National Center for Transgender Equality Founder and Executive Director Mara Keisling will address the needs of transgender travelers and share practical advice to help travel companies create a supportive and all-welcoming environment. In “A Fireside Chat with Roger Dow,” we'll hear the latest trends from the President and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association.

Altanta is the epicenter of the LGBTQ+ South. Home to a vibrant gay community, Atlanta boasts numerous must-visit establishments and can't-miss events. With such a rich culture filled with festivals, arts and fine dining, it's easy to see why Atlanta is a top destination for LGBTQ+ visitors.

There’s something powerful about a fresh look. It can be a new outfit, or haircut, or luggage. Whatever it is, change is reinvigorating, and it can open doors.
