The theme of the summit this year is: "(re)Generations of Solidarity: Shifting Lenses, Igniting Hearts." The purpose of this summit is to provide a safe space where members of the QPOC community can engage in a cross generational dialogue with each other. By sharing conversations and exchanging perspectives across generations, we hope this will generate new energy and inspire new passion in the QPOC communities.
