March 19th-20th, 2026
We recognize that one day of this year’s conference falls on Eid al-Fitr, an important religious holiday marking the end of Ramadan. We know this creates a barrier for some members of our community who would otherwise want to attend.
SOGIEcon is scheduled more than a year in advance and is limited to the University’s spring break timeframe in order to ensure space availability, student participation, and accessibility for attendees. While this overlap was not intentional, we recognize the impact it may have and remain committed to building a conference that reflects and supports the full diversity of our community.
