Sydney WorldPride Human Rights Conference

Sydney WorldPride will host the largest LGBTQIA+ Human Rights Conference ever to be held in the southern hemisphere.

Join us on a three-day exploration of LGBTQIA+ human rights, as we journey from where we are now to our vision for the future.

The Conference will be immersive and fast-paced, taking place in multiple spaces across three levels of Sydney’s International Convention Centre (ICC). The program will combine inspiring keynotes, panels and roundtables with interactive workshops, performances and facilitated networking events.

This will be the largest convergence of human rights defenders, community members, government and political representatives, philanthropists and corporate leaders committed to LGBTQIA+ rights ever held in Asia Pacific.

Together, this Conference will be an opportunity to help create a world that is safe, free and equal for everyone – no matter who we love, who we are or what sex characteristics we were born with.

Who is Presenting?

There will be over 60 local and international presenters, including LGBTQIA+ campaigners and activists, First Nations leaders and elders, policy and law makers, elected officials, researchers and academics.

Icons of our movements, pride leaders and change-makers will present and inspire, including trans and gender diverse people, First Nations people and grass-roots campaigners.

Our presenters hail from all corners of the globe, from the Caribbean and North America to Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Pacific and sub-Saharan Africa.

Who Will Be There?

The Conference is open to all: activists and academics, lawyers and law makers, as well as professionals and students. But above all, it is for our community and our allies.

This is a unique opportunity for people from diverse backgrounds to hear stories from those with lived experience as LGBTQIA+ people.

Together, we will celebrate the wins, regenerate from the losses, and organise for the challenges ahead.
