For two and a half days, delegates will gather in the heart of Tel Aviv, home to a dynamic and vibrant LGBTQ community, to inspire and strengthen each other, build their skills and networks, and celebrate 40 years of LGBTQ progress in Israel, all culminating with the ever-fabulous weekend of Tel Aviv Pride.
Delegates will also travel to the historic city of Jerusalem to tour Yadv’Shem, the Knesset, and meet key Israeli policy makers and community leaders.
