SpirallingSnowy Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 SWP Update - 4/8/22 Australian Asexuals will be attending the following events: Fair Day - Sunday 19th Feb 2023 https://sydneyworldpride.com/events/mg-fair-day/ Mardi Gras Parade - Sat 25th Feb 2023 https://sydneyworldpride.com/events/mardi-gras-parade/ International Asexuality Conference- 4th&5th March 2023 https://www.facebook.com/IntlAceCon2023/ SWP Pride March- 5th March 2023 https://sydneyworldpride.com/events/pride-march/ We are also hoping to have Ace representation at the Human Rights Conference - 1st -3rd March 2023 https://sydneyworldpride.com/the-human-rights-conference/ contact the team : asexualityconference2023@gmail.com have your say in the content of the conference here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/L5D7LH7 I just wanted to start a thread about this. I know it’s a few years off, but still better to see interest etc. AFAIK, no dates have been given, but maybe it will be around the usual Sydney Mardi Gras time, given they are organising? I’m not sure how the asexual community got involved in the organisation process for previous World Pride events - is AVEN a member of InterPride? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
michaeld Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 We're not afaik part of InterPride. It must be emphasised that we have primarily always done our own thing. We use WorldPride as an excuse to organise a big international meet, whether supported or not. In one year (2019) we got a grant, but either way we can usually raise the money needed to hold a conference. I was involved in the other years - 2012, 2014, 2017, not 2019. In at least 2014 and 2017 (possibly 2019?) we also presented at the centrally organised WorldPride Human Rights conference. I think there are plans to do similar at WorldPride 2021 in Denmark (covid permitting). Usually there is an application process for this that closes about a year before the event. But this isn't the main thing. Still it is nice to have central support, but I'm sure we'll have a really big international meet either way! Link to post Share on other sites
SpirallingSnowy Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 I know there are Aces interested in having an Ace on the WorldPride Board, given we should really have representation there, and its the Sydney Mardi Gras who won the bid and we’ve had a number of floats before. im not an expert on the dynamic between Australian Asexuals ( the ppl who do the Ace float ) and Syd Mardi Gras , but it seems a case of they are welcome To tag along, but don’t really have a seat at the table.

SpirallingSnowy Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 It would be good to get an indication of any non Aussie aces who intend to go? https://sydneyworldpride.com We have been thinking the best time to have it will be between thr Mardi Gras Parade and World Pride March, so Feb 25th to March 5th. The Human Rights Conference is in that time frame too. Link to post Share on other sites

Risiedo nel sud della Nuova Zelanda e ho pensato di salutare. Sono interessato. Ci sono alcune cose che dovrei sistemare, ma ho un sacco di tempo. Io risiedo in Italia. Come funziona questo interessantissimo gruppo? I reside in Italy. How does this very interesting group work? Link to post Share on other sites
