28th Annual ISITDBT Conference

Thursday, November 16, 2023 (8:30AM PT – 5:30PM PT)

Presented Virtually and Live from Seattle, Washington

The statement delivered at the beginning of the 2023 ISITDBT conference was not one that all board members had agreed or consented to be read. While those who delivered the message intended for it to be an individual message from them, we acknowledge that many received this statement as representing the views of the entire 2023 ISITDBT board and that this caused harm and was not aligned with our antiracist goals and values. We apologize for our actions and are working to implement changes to ensure that something like this does not occur again.
