Join us in Adelaide, South Australia for Better Together® 2023, Australia’s 5th National LGBTIQ+ Conference, from 17-18 February 2023 at the Adelaide Convention Centre.
The national conference will coincide with the start of Sydney World Pride and will explore the important issues facing LGBTIQA+ communities in Australia and facilitate an intersectional discussion about achieving social and cultural change.
Delegates representing Australia’s diverse LGBTIQA+ communities, organisations, and allies will come together to share ideas and experiences, learn from each other, forge alliances and ultimately work together and explore ways we can all contribute to creating positive change.
The 2-day conference at Adelaide Convention Centre will feature panel discussions, workshops and talks that will explore themes of visibility, empowerment, and awareness as well as allyship and collaboration.
In 2023, we’re introducing a new format we’re calling Better Think. Better Think will be a showcase of speakers presenting impactful and well-formed ideas that will help us “think better”. Inspired by the wonderfully short and powerful format of TED Talks, the aim of Better Think is to share great ideas in under 20 minutes.
Better Together® 2023 and will once again feature exciting guest speakers from the US, Europe and the Asia Pacific. A new pre-conference event, the LGBTIQA+ Leaders Summit, will be held on Thursday 16 February 2023.
Explore the current issues facing the LGBTIQA+ movement; celebrate our diverse communities and allies; and create opportunities to establish meaningful connections to work together and cultivate positive change.
In partnership with The Long Walk, we will begin with a Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony at this outdoor location and then walk together to the Adelaide Convention Centre to gather for the opening plenary. Our first session will be opened by ABBA the Museum Choir.
