You're Invited!
Set your sites on Toronto, Ontario, Canada for the 12th Annual IFGE Convention - the most important gathering of transgendered leaders, educators, activists, personalities and associated professional held each year. In 1998, IFGE makes good on the ìInternationalî part of its name and mission by heading to Toronto for its yearly gathering of the community.
Join us at the beautiful Colony Hotel in chic downtown Toronto for - Crossing Borders/Toronto 1998 a week of learning, networking and celebration. Our visit is being coordinated and hosted by XPRESSIONS, Southern Ontario's foremost open transgendered support group. The leadership and members of XPRESSIONS are eager to share the joys of their international metropolis with the rest of the transgendered community. They have planned lots of exciting events for Crossing Borders participants, from shopping and tours to spectacular theater outings (Toronto is the world's third largest theater city behind London & NYC!). And they have primed the world-famous Toronto nightclub scene to help celebrate this historic gathering of the transgendered community. The city's popular nightclub district is located nearby our host hotel.
Daytimes during the conference you'll have the opportunity to meet and hear presentations by some of the most accomplished individuals in the community. Activists, leaders, educators, lobbyists, authors, medical practitioners, performers, spiritual leaders, gadflys, publishers, vendors...you name it ... they will be presenting seminars, and meeting and mixing with the community at large at IFGE's Crossing Borders.
Convention costs are always a concern, and this year IFGE and Xpressions have worked very hard to make Crossing Borders as affordable as possible. (Scholarships are available.) Americans will find it is a particular bargain as the exchange rate in Canada is quite favorable for them at this time, and that means huge savings in Toronto's friendly and sophisticated shops and boutiques. Airfares to Toronto also are as good as they have ever been.
The entire transgendered family, our friends and professional advocates will be represented in Toronto, and we invite you to join in this historic and fun event.
IFGE's 12th Annual Convention - March 24-29
