#SaferToBeMe 2025 is now open for speaker proposals and papers for the two-day summit happening 23rd-25th October in Newcastle, North East England as part of a week-long programme of global activities.
It is an unrivalled opportunity to present to a global audience of influencers and activists in-person and online, streamed across the world.
Both days will have parallel talks, workshops, and sessions, based around the following two parallel threads:
Thread 1: Local to national LGBTQI+ issues in the United Kingdom.
Thread 2: Global LGBTQI+ issues.
We are particularly keen to receive submission for consideration from Global South contributors and less visible sections of the LGBTQ+ communities.
The tone of presentations should not be overly academic and should use lay language avoiding technical terms wherever possible.
If you are submitting a paper for consideration, please have an idea of which thread you will submit it under. Our Call for Papers has several examples of topics that we feel would be of interest to participants and the LGBTQ+ communities across the world.
Please also tell us, on the online form, whether you wish to present online from your nation state, or face-to-face, or if you can do either.
UPDATED 8 April 2025: The submission deadline has been extended to facilitate some additional papers - the deadline is now Friday 25th April at 23.59 UK time.
