A Celebration of Gender Diversity
Welcome to the Sixteenth Annual Keystone Conference, "A Celebration of Gender Diversity," hosted by TransCentralPA in Pennsylvania's capital city of Harrisburg! You are in store for an informative, inspirational and joyous time among members and supporters of the Transgender community at our new location, the splendid
Harrisburg Hilton Hotel.
As the keystone bridges and holds together associated entities, trans-identifying and non-binary people do the same, and the Keystone Conference is a celebration of the unique diversity of gender and our central and unifying place in society. Pennsylvania is known as the Keystone State because of its significance in unifying the early colonies, and it is quite relevant that we hold this conference here in the state's capital, ideally located within an easy drive from six major east coast cities.
Announcing our Saturday Gala Guest Speaker
Rebekah Bruesehoff is a 19-year-old author and award-winning activist passionate about inclusion, joy, and authenticity.

Whether she’s speaking to a crowd of 30,000 or one-on-one, Rebekah inspires people of all ages and identities to show up fully as themselves and dare to make the world a better place.
