The Creating Change Conference, for the first time in its 33-year history, will be “a completely virtual event” in 2021, due to the ongoing public health crisis and current safety regulations, Director Andy Garcia announced via press release today (Thursday, July 16).
Creating Change 2021 had been scheduled to take place as an in-person convening next January in Washington, D.C. The annual conference is a program of the National LGBTQ Task Force. “We are disappointed we will be unable to gather in person, one of the most powerful elements of Creating Change, but the Task Force is committed to planning a virtual experience that is diverse, accessible and addresses the many issues facing LGBTQ+ communities,” Garcia said.
