The Philadelphia Trans Wellness Conference’s (PTWC) General Conference Track serves as a space for our community to come together and connect with, learn from, educate, and celebrate one another and is free to all attendees. This takes place through a multitude of different programming that can take shape through educational workshops, lectures, group discussions, and more.

PTWC’s General Conference Track will take place in person on Friday, September 6, and Saturday, September 7, 2024. Registration for the General Conference Track is free. We encourage attendees to donate to help support the cost of the conference if they are resourced to do so. We are currently exploring options to make some workshops available virtually for remote participants. Please check back later for more information on how to register to attend PTWC’s General Conference Track.

The content of the General Conference Track is selected by the Interdisciplinary Review Committee (IRC). The IRC is a volunteer committee comprised of trans, nonbinary, and gender-expansive community members tasked with ensuring the content presented at the conference each year is affirming and empowering of the trans community and its many intersections. Committee members support recruitment of new members, development of proposal scoring rubrics, outreach to solicit workshop proposals, review and selection of workshops, and on-site volunteer efforts at the conference. The committee also works to ensure that content presented at PTWC is not perpetuating transphobia, homophobia, racism, xenophobia, sexism, ablism, ageism, antisemitism, and islamophobia. Some common topics covered in the General Track include physical and mental health, gender-affirming surgery, hormone replacement therapy, relationships, and more.
