AlterConf Sessions are local events that provide safe opportunities for marginalized people and those who support them in the tech and gaming industries to learn from and encourage one another. By highlighting the powerful voices and positive initiatives of local community members, we build hope and strengthen the community’s resolve to create safer, healthier spaces for everyone.

The Sessions go beyond the limited definitions and basic discussions of diversity to create a deeper, more nuanced conversation. Each Session features a wide range of speakers delivering critical analyses of tech and gaming culture and presenting their vision for what our community can be.
