InterPride Sponsorship Deck
October 25 – 29, 2023
San Diego, California, USA
Westin San Diego Gaslamp Quarter

40 years ago, InterPride held its second annual meeting and conference in San Diego. In October 2023, the InterPride General Meeting & World Conference will return to our southern California border city, proudly hosted by San Diego Pride.

The 2023 conference will include all the things we expect and love from an InterPride conference: workshops, caucuses, plenaries, receptions, meetings, and, of course, the big gala dinner and reception on Saturday evening!

San Diego Pride and InterPride are excited to open registration, hotel reservations, and a call for workshop proposals. Stay tuned for more detailed information about program content, local attractions and entertainment suggestions, and options to extend your stay in San Diego and/or Baja California, Mexico.
