It was organised in close cooperation with three local host organisations: Arc-en-Ciel Wallonie, Çavaria, and RainbowHouse.
Since the 2017 Annual Conference in Warsaw, LGBTI activists, groups, and organisations in Europe and Central Asia have faced so many questions... We found both negative and positive answers to those questions. Watch our Year in Review video with Rainbow Search to see all the answers.

A strong call for change – right at the heart of the European political system
At one of the largest ever ILGA-Europe Annual Conferences, hundreds of equality and diversity organisations came together to issue a strong call for change – right at the heart of the European political system. Over 550 LGBTI activists and allies gathered together between 24-27 October in Brussels, at a time when populism, nationalism, anti-equality groups and right-wing extremism are prominent features – infiltrating both our news headlines and our daily lives. And LGBTI equality is at the forefront of all of this.

Group photo for the Intersex Awareness Day: ‘Protect intersex children!’
The participants of 2018 Annual Conference came together on 26 October to take a group photo to mark the Intersex Awareness Day and to highlight the challenges still faced by intersex people in today's society. OII-Europe has decided to focus on intersex children this year and prepared many materials to help the parents of intersex children, so we gathered in the hotel lobby with our intersex flags and signs saying ‘Protect intersex children!’
