Contributing to the WorldPride Conference 2026
The WorldPride Conference program is being developed with input from activists and Pride organizers around the world and is overseen by our advisory board. They made an initial selection of over 300+ submitted proposals and, where necessary, connected parties to ensure impactful sessions.

Each session will generally have 75 minutes available. The format is flexible. The aim is to make every session as diverse, inspiring, and interactive as possible. So we asked contributors to collaborate, present, inspire, demonstrate, organize a panel, divide the session into segments, in short: create impact with an unforgettable experience for participants.
