FAMILY REUNION!
For the past 12 years, the Philadelphia Family Pride Family Matters Conference has been a valued tradition for LGBTQ+ led families and LGBTQ+ prospective parents throughout the Philadelphia region. We welcome and appreciate all kinds familial connections. We embrace a broad range of parenting experiences as well as LGBTQ+ folks seeking to become parents, wherever they are in their journey.
Our 13th Annual Family Matters Conference will take place as a hybrid event this year during the evenings of Thurs. Nov. 3rd and Friday, Nov. 4th on Zoom and during the day on Saturday Nov. 5th in person, outside at the Smith Playground and Playhouse in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park.
The theme is "Family Reunion" with sessions for parents on topics about reconnecting; our inheritance, traditions and heritage as LGBTQ-led families; exploring and navigating the paths to parenthood for prospective parents.
