1st - 3rd Annual Queer People of Color Conferences
UC Berkeley 2006-08

The 1st - 3rd Annual Queer People of Color Conferences have all taken place at UC Berkeley. Each year it is hosted by different organizations with the theme of the conference changing as well.

Why was the Queer People of Color Summit started?

To honor the advances made by queer people of color amid various geopolitical, sociological, and institutional pressures that have informed our individual consciousnesses and the structures of our supporting organizations.  The Queer People of Color Leadership Summit aspired to provide an arena for QPOC, our organizations, and those invested in our development and proliferation to reignite the dialogues of what a QPOC identity means, what Queer People of Color represent, and how Queer People of Color can strategize more effectively.

What can QPOC gain from coming to the summits and conferences?

By contesting notions of a singular QPOC identity, participants can expect to explore new methods of negotiating challenges that relate to our varied experiences.

While the organizing committee of the past and current summits/conferences has extended welcome to all, it hopes participants approach the summit as an opportunity—not only for those who can rely on their privileges (as varied as they are) as an assurance of their agency.
