This year, over 400 LGBTI activists and allies joined us in Bucharest, Romania from October 16-19, as we worked hard with our local hosts, ACCEPT and MozaiQ, to bring an experience that has grown to become a central moment for the LGBTI movement in the region.

Our 26th Annual Conference took place between 16-19 October in Romania, hosted by local organisations, ACCEPT and MozaiQ. More than 430 people, from 53 countries, from all manners of organisations and groups, were with us for over 70 different sessions, including workshops and inspiration spaces, self-organised sessions, connecting spaces, social events, and many more empowering and thoughtful moments.

Our theme this year was: ‘The Call to Courage’. In the current geopolitical landscape, in which LGBTI rights are more at risk, how can we stay ahead of the curve? To answer this question, our participants were called upon to courageously seek new strategies and work across differences. The result was one of our most vital and successful conferences yet, facilitating many courageous conversations and meaningful moments.

In Bucharest, we came together to prepare to face the complexities of the future with strategic foresight, while celebrating our successes and leveraging the lessons we’ve learned from our challenges.
