Since its inception in 1981, GLMA's Annual Conference on LGBTQ+ Health has served as the premier scientific conference for LGBTQ+ and allied health professionals to share innovative healthcare breakthroughs and interventions, as well as the latest research on LGBTQ+ health. The conference is open to health care providers of all disciplines, researchers, academics, health administrators, policy experts, advocates, and all LGBTQ+ health supporters.
We are looking forward to joining together for GLMA's 42nd Annual Conference on LGBTQ+ Health this year!
The conference will take place in Charlotte, North Carolina - September 30 - October 2, 2024.

Please note: This year, the Nursing Summit will undergo a significant change as it integrates seamlessly into the main conference, foregoing its standalone day format. This integration marks a strategic move towards fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and maximizing networking opportunities among health professionals.
Sessions specifically designed for nursing professionals will now be represented in the Nursing Track and will take place on Day 2 of the Annual Conference giving nursing professionals and nursing students the opportunity to purchase a Day Pass if preferred to full registration.
This year's conference theme, "Practice with Pride," serves as a powerful reminder of the collective power of pride as we shape a better and healthier future for the LGBTQ+ community. The theme underscores the profound connection between LGBTQ+ representation, allyship, and health equity, recognizing that a healthcare system that authentically reflects and respects the diversity of the population it serves is better equipped to address the unique needs and challenges faced by LGBTQ+ individuals. By practicing with pride, health professionals create a more inclusive and equitable healthcare landscape for everyone.
