Hoosiers Out Together
2018 Hoosiers Out Together Conference
IUPUI is proud to host the second annual Hoosiers Out Together Conference.
HOT CON is a college conference that focuses on the history, present conditions, and future visualizations of LGBTQ+ people in Indiana. It brings together students, faculty, staff, and community members from across the state to participate in presentations, workshops, discussions, keynote, and artistic celebration associated with the LGBTQ+ community. Presentations include information on student activism, professional development, faculty research, assessment, community building, and art/media. It is our chance to learn from and build community with one another. Our existence is resistance.
This year's HOT CON will be on the campus of IUPUI, downtown Indianapolis, from October 26th to 27th. This year's theme is OUR STORIES | OUR STORY.
