What People Are Saying.
“This conference is incredibly important for our communities to come together, share knowledge and stories on lived experience and work together for change.”
— Better Together 2023 attendee
“When you bring together such diverse voices into a wonderful space like this, debate can occur. That’s fantastic, because the ultimate goal is not consensus but critical thinking.”
— Better Together 2019 attendee
“The conference was informative and I felt very welcome. Some of the topics also challenged my thinking , which is always a good thing.”
— Better Together 2023 attendee
“This is an extremely valuable and irreplaceable platform for LGBTIQA+ people.”
— Better Together 2020 attendee
“The event is broad enough to fit most people and their interests with an understandable local focus. The framework used is high-grade and sufficiently commercial without being overly slick and elitist. The feel and set expectation is 'supportive, serving and patient'. Connections are self-driven.”
— Better Together 2023 attendee
Better Together® 2025 will commence with a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony and a “Long Walk” to the venue.
