27th International Gay and Lesbian Leadership Conference Starts Today

The 27th annual International Gay and Lesbian Leadership Conference starts today and runs through December 4 and is in Houston this year.

It's at the downtown Hilton Americas Hotel next door to the George R. Brown Convention Center and brings together hundreds of openly LGBT leaders in government, politics, advocacy, business and community organizations.  It's also an opportunity for out TBLG leaders and attendees of this event to experience three days of training, skills building, networking and discussion of key issues facing leaders and their communities. 

It's here probably because of our mayor Annise Parker, one of those out LGBT governmental leaders who was reelected to her second term as Houston's mayor. 

Hmm, sounds like something I'd enjoy hanging around the Hilton Americas hotel for based on some of the events and seminars I see on the schedule , but is a conference that is out of my price range to attend. 

Maybe it'll happen for me someday.
