Registration is now open for the Desiree Alliance 2010 Conference! We are so astired! Yes, we'll be there. No, we don't plane on presenting. We want to groove the full week. (Though we'll no doubt be doing some on-site benefit and we are already doing behind-the-scenes planning work.)
We're looking to put together an amazing project for everyone who takes share, so if you think you might want to introduce on a range of topics, please proffer a proposal! We have 5 different themes: Academia, Activism/Leadership, Business Development, Arts/Media, Harm Reduction.
We toured the grounds of the conference shortly before we left the States and it's good for everyone. The room rate is great!. It's going to be very budget-friendly this year too. (Yes, there's a pool. It's Vegas in July. Bring sunscreen too.)
Yes, you have to register in advance. Yes, we are screening. This has to be a safe space so the general public just can't wander in. That being said, you don't have to be a sex worker to attend. Allies and supporters are always welcome. And no, you don't have to live in the US to be welcome either.
If you're not interested in attending but still want to help out, you can always volunteer your time (behind the scenes), services (like printing programs) or just a plain old financial support always helps. DA always offers scholarships ever year so sex workers who are on tight budgets can attend and have their expenses covered. The more money we can raise, the more scholarships can be awarded.
It's always about networking, learning, making new friends and just seeing friends you haven't seen in a year! It's something sex workers in the US rarely get. It's going to be so great this year!
