GLMA’s 44th Annual Conference on LGBTQ+ Health brought our community together in Seattle for three days of learning, connection, reflection, and collective care. Attendees shared knowledge, built relationships, exchanged lived experience, and connected with peers working across the evolving landscape of LGBTQ+ health.
Evidence-informed education: Research presentations, workshops, and panels explored best practices and emerging evidence across health disciplines.
Interdisciplinary exchange: Clinicians, researchers, educators, advocates, administrators, and health professions trainees learned alongside one another and shared perspectives across disciplines.
Skill-building and practical tools: Sessions connected research and expertise with practical approaches for clinical, academic, policy, and community settings.
Community and connection: Networking opportunities, affinity gatherings, and informal conversations created space to strengthen relationships beyond the session room.
Restoration and celebration: Receptions, social events, and shared experiences created opportunities for joy, connection, and community alongside the work of advancing LGBTQ+ health.
Beyond plenaries and workshops, #GLMA2026 created opportunities for connection across the conference community. Receptions, networking gatherings, exhibitor conversations, affinity spaces, and informal moments helped attendees build relationships and strengthen collaboration that extends beyond the conference itself. These experiences remain an important part of how GLMA brings together the people and communities advancing LGBTQ+ health equity.
