QTPOC Regional Conference
Empowerment, Visibility, Solidarity, Safety, Connection, Celebration

The conference, held on campus on Saturday, April 18, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., will celebrate and connect QTPOC university students, staff, and faculty across Southern California, with special focus on the Inland Empire.
