The 2026 Greater Houston LGBTQ+ Community Summit unites our diverse community to shape the future of queer life across our region. This free, two-day gathering brings together voices across generations, identities, and experiences to learn, connect, and create actionable change.

What We’ll Do Together

Through dynamic sessions blending education, entertainment and action, participants will:

• Learn advocacy skills and tools to champion LGBTQ+ needs in their own neighborhoods
• Attend information sessions on resources, rights, and support systems available across Greater Houston
• Join workshops addressing health access, safety, workplace equity, and community belonging
• Participate in community visioning and action planning for regional priorities
• Connect with organizations and advocates serving every corner of our metro area

By the end of the summit, you’ll leave equipped with knowledge, connections, and concrete strategies to advance LGBTQ+ life in your community.

Building Regional Impact

More than two dozen Houston-area LGBTQ+ organizations are collaborating to ensure every voice matters—regardless of where you call home in Greater Houston. Building on the 2025 Summit’s success with 250 participants, we’re expanding both reach and resources.

The Summit culminates in community-voted calls to action, creating a shared roadmap that reflects the needs of LGBTQ+ people throughout our entire region.
