The tracks will be running at the same time. If you are interested in mixing courses from the 'Trans/Nonbinary Resource' track and the 'Community Resource' track, we can assist you with this in person (unless the courses you are interested in are happening at the same time). If you are a service provider, we ask that you only choose the provider track, unless you are also part of the community, to respect the space and privacy of attendees.
