We strive to create a welcoming space for all conference attendees, so we provide an optional field where you can offer your pronouns. This helps us avoid making assumptions about each other’s pronouns based on names or appearances, and we can check name badges to learn about each other’s preferences. This is an optional field, which can of course be left blank if you prefer.

You can learn more about pronouns and why you may choose to share them from The Human Rights Coalition and GLSEN.
