Affirmation Spring Conference

2019 Affirmation Spring Conference

May 3
May 5

by

The theme for the Affirmation’s Spring Conference is “Connecting with Community: You have a Place.”

Join other LGBTQ Mormons, their family members, and their friends in Phoenix/Mesa Arizona for the Affirmation Spring Conference! Affirmation’s conference is specifically being held this weekend so Affirmation can also connect you Saturday morning with the incredible ALL Conference hosted by ALL (Arizona LDS LGBT) Arizona.

This weekend event takes the place of the previously planned Affirmation Leadership Retreat in Nauvoo, which will now occur in the fall.

Registration

Registration is only $35 per person attending the Affirmation Spring Conference weekend. Attendee registration fees include meals and snacks for the weekend. Your registration for Affirmation’s conference weekend will automatically register you for the ALL conference event on Saturday morning. Register now.

A note to our ALL Arizona friends: The ALL Arizona Conference and the Affirmation Conference are separate events. There is no charge to just attend the ALL opening social Friday evening and the Saturday morning ALL conference. If you are a member of ALL Arizona and would like to make a weekend event out of the ALL conference, please register with Affirmation. We would love to have you attend the entire weekend with us after the ALL Conference! Come network with your fellow LGBTQ peers from across the country!
