The Queer Leadership Symposium will be held on Friday, October 24, 2025.

QLS 2025 will be held in the Manitou a bi Bii daziigae building at the Exchange District Campus of Red River College Polytechnic (319 Elgin Avenue, Winnipeg, Manitoba).

Sessions will be held throughout the day, including a plenary panel in the afternoon. When registering, you will have the opportunity to select the sessions that you wish to attend, but your choices can be changed the day of the symposium too.

There will be morning refreshments, lunch is included, and there will be a social event beginning at 4:00 p.m. for us to network and celebrate our work together.

There are several parking lots nearby with full-day parking available.

Cost: $40 to register for QLS 2025. If you are unemployed, the registration fee is $20. Full-time students are able to attend free of charge. This nominal registration fee will help off-set costs for running the Queer Leadership Symposium.
