The event is an interdisciplinary practice and policy conference primarily for those who work with lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender older adults and caregivers.

The daylong conference includes more than 20 different workshops, which are tailored to older LGBT adults and their caregivers as well as experienced practitioners who work with LGBT adults. There are also workshops that offer an introduction to LGBT aging issues.

A screening of “ Reel in the Closet”—a new film by award-winning documentary filmmaker Stu Maddux—is included along with a post-screening of the film.
