| 4th ILGA-Asia Regional Conference "LGBT ASIA Moving Forward!" Surabaya, Indonesia; 26-28 March 2010 The International Gay Association (ILGA) was set up in 1978 in England to provide a forum for LGBT activist groups to network and exchange information. The World Conference was the forum where members came together and was the vehicle by which "action" was initiated. ILGA became ILGA in 1986 and in the 1980s, its work expanded to regional meetings and projects beyond the world conference. Today, ILGA is a world-wide federation of more than 560 local, national and international member organizations, representing every continent and around 90 countries. The ILGA-Asia has been the largest and the most diverse in terms of coverage area. It had its first regional conference in Mumbai, India, 2002; its second regional conference in Cebu, Philippines, 2005. The third regional conference was held on 24 to 27 January 2008 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Around 160 LGBT activists from Asia [representing 16 countries] and beyond gathered to discuss LGBT issues under the motto "Equality in Diversity Now!", and to elect a working Board for the first time. NOW! You are invited to participate in the 4th ILGA-ASIA Regional Conference Over 150 LGBTQI activists from all over Asia are expected to participate in this 3-days conference. At present, there are around 100 LGBT organizations that are members of ILGA-ASIA. Special attention will be given to equal representation of women and transgender persons. The conference is not exclusive to LGBT-identified individuals but is open to all people who support the rights of all gender and sexually marginalised groups. The conference is open to people of all sexual identities and orientations supportive of LGBT issues and concerns in Asia. ILGA's conferences are traditionally open to all, members or non-members of ILGA. However, some agenda items, called ILGA MATTERS, are for ILGA members only. Activists can either fund their participation by their own means or apply for a scholarship.
