The Conference continues to grow with a list of nationally known speakers and entertainers. This year, we are proud to feature Michelangelo Signorile, author of the best-seller Queer In America: Sex, the Media, and the Closets of Power. The Conference will be concurrent with the National Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual Seminarians Conference which will be taking place at Vanderbilt's Divinity School. While this year's conference promises to be better than ever, it also marks a year of change, as the torch will be passed. At the end of the Saturday sessions, participants will plan and network for next year and choose a new location.
