Should I Come?

Absolutely - register now! This is your chance to meet the people behind the scenes. Whether you're passionate about local issues, looking to get involved, or just curious about what Raleigh has to offer, this is the event you can't afford to miss.

Our keynote program will see both City and community leaders join in conversation. We will discuss the importance of working with the community, what we're doing, and how you can join. We are also hosting breakout sessions where you can engage directly with staff and community leaders. 

This year we are joined by three community leaders on our panel:

• Dr. Ajamu Dillahunt-Holloway, assistant professor of African American History and Public History at N.C. State University;
• Kori Hennessey, executive director of LGBT Center of Raleigh; and,
• Iliana Santillan, executive director of El Pueblo.
