And yes, I also love this conference because it falls close to my birthday, and it feels like an extended birthday party around my extended trans family for me. In addition to the great seminars and the Black Trans Advocacy Awards Gala, it also includes the Black Trans International Pageants, the Black Diamond Ball and the Family Fun Day at Austin Ranch.
Will be interesting to see who will win the Monica Roberts Advocacy Award this year Was pleased to hand it to Tiq Milan in 2014. Who will I hand it off to on May 1?
This year BTAC attendees who are flying into Dallas will have the option of using their expansive light rail system to get to the conference hotel.
Once you arrive at the Lovers Lane Station, you will call the front desk and they will send the hotel shuttle bus to pick you up.
If you're flying into Love Field, you can catch DART to and from the hotel as well. You'll find your way to the DART Love Field terminal bus stop, then board the DART Love Link 524 bus to the Inwood Rd/Love Field Station at street level. From there you will catch an Orange Line train in the Parker Rd. direction from the elevated platform to the Lovers Lane Station.
If you take Greyhound into Dallas, the Greyhound terminal is three blocks south of the DART West End Station where you will catch the DART Rail Orange Line to the Lovers Lane Station.
So what's the DART fare? It's $2.50 for a two hour ticket or $5 for an all day pass that lasts until 3:00 AM the next day on all transportation modes.
Hope this pointing out the DART travel options to the BTAC conference hotel helps solidify your decision to attend this amazing conference. Hope to see you peeps there.
