Some friendships begin in a classroom. Others start over coffee, on a walk into town or while getting ready for a night out. At Esprit, there’s a whole week to find your people and enjoy their company.
We’re a conference for gender-diverse people in Port Angeles, Washington, with room for learning, self-discovery and plenty of fun. Transgender and nonbinary people, crossdressers, and people exploring their gender are welcome here.
Come for a new experience. Come to see old friends. Come with questions, a fabulous outfit or simply a little curiosity. There’s more than one way to make Esprit your own.
It’s easier to take that first step when you know a little about what’s ahead. Meet our newcomer mentoring program, find out what to bring and get a feel for the week before you arrive.
