Rainbow Families’ Annual Family Conference
A celebrated tradition since 2003
Rainbow Families’ Annual Family Conference is the largest gathering of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) headed family community in the region, drawing hundreds of families each year. Our Conference provides a full day of workshops, inspiring speakers, awards/giveaways, and more. Our carefully structured workshop sessions allow LGBTQ+ families (and those considering family planning) to not only learn more about the topics that matter to them, but also to build on their own community of support. Unlike other massive conferences, attendees and sponsors appreciate our ‘mid-size’ scale which allows for more personalized connections and relationship building
Businesses may become involved at a variety of levels, with varying returns at each level. Sponsors can also opt to participate in our Resource Fair, as well as submit consideration to present a workshop, to connect even more personally and directly with attendees. We honor our Sponsors with significant ROI, introductions to new potential customers, and the ability to be recognized throughout the year
In 2020, our conference was held as a virtual program, and thankfully saw our greatest attendance ever – even drawing attendees from across the United States. As such, our 2021 conference will be held virtually as well
Corporate Sponsorship
Aside from sponsorship of our Annual Family Conference, we have a variety of opportunities for leading businesses to show support of equality and inclusion for LGBT families. Our combined channels reach up to 10,000 every month, our membership and engagement has grown solidly each month since 2017, and we offer several ways to reach the LGBT family market, a very loyal segment
Please, reach out to Darren Vance, Executive Director, to discuss how Rainbow Families can showcase your business or service
Rainbow Families is long recognized as a trusted, vetted nonprofit offering important services to the community
