Trans Media Convening Registration (Day 2)
We're excited you're interested in attending the second part of The Objective's first Trans Media Convening!
When is this event? What is the registration deadline?
This second-day gathering is on Nov. 15, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. PT // 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. CT // 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET. Registration forms must be submitted by Nov. 12, 2025, by 11:59 p.m. ET.
What is this event?
This is a free, virtual-only event for trans journalists, media workers, and those adjacent on Zoom hosted by The Objective to strategize action around a safer media ecosystem and meet other trans folks in their region. The event will consist of a short intro, a somatic grounding session, one breakout session for strategizing around the Day 1 panels, a lunch break, one breakout session for strategizing with people in your region, and a large-group discussion to prep a public resource to share out after the gathering. Once you submit a registration form, we will be in touch with the secure Zoom link. Please do not invite cis allies to this event — this is meant to be a closed community space.
What happens to my information?
Each form submission is encrypted. Your information will be stored locally in Jotform and only accessible to a team of vetted volunteers helping The Objective organizing the event, as well as The Objective's two co-directors. It will be deleted after the event and we will only keep your email if you request notes for panels or if you consent to being updated for The Objective's newsletter/future events.
About The Objective
The Objective is a media reporting and criticism newsroom that examines systems of power and inequity in journalism: how newsrooms treat their employees, how journalists interact with their community, and what new forms of journalism can look like.
