MOMENTUM Conference in DC will Make Waves in Sexuality

NEW YORK, NY—The 2nd annual MOMENTUM Conference will take place in Washington DC from March 30th through April 1st, 2012. The conference will be held at the Crystal City Marriott near Reagan Airport. MOMENTUM brings together the best people in their fields of the LGBTQ, sex-work, BDSM and non-monogamous communities. Speakers will discuss ways to bridge the baffling dichotomies our culture creates around sexuality. Abortion laws, restrictions on gay marriage, abstinence programs, medicalization of sex, fear of pornography and prosecutions for teenage sexting are examples of one side of the spectrum. The discomfort that strives to make us keep our sexuality hidden conflicts with the use of sex—especially the female body—to sell everything from food to cars to "performance enhancing" products. The opening Keynote Plenary Panel will be moderated by the legendary Dr. Carol Queen and feature esteemed panelists Bill Taverner, editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Sexuality Education; author and sexuality educator Dr. Logan Levkoff; founder and director of the Red Umbrella Project Audacia Ray; and university professor and Education Program Manager at Good Vibrations Charlie Glickman, PhD. Our Closing Plenary features author of the international bestseller Mating in Captivity, Esther Perel, and journalist Lara Riscol. The conference will kick off with an exclusive meet & greet with a performance by comic Maria Falzone. MOMENTUM is geared toward anyone interested in intelligent conversations about the influence of new media on sexuality. After a sold-out first year in 2011, MOMENTUM has expanded its space, presenters and sessions, with over 40 sessions and 60 presenters. MOMENTUM will cover a wide range of viewpoints on sexuality, and the program is sure to have something of interest to everyone. Each participant in MOMENTUM will leave the conference with new perspectives, new connections and a plan to carry the MOMENTUM forward into 2012 and beyond. Pre-registration is required to attend MOMENTUM. Go to momentumcon.com or http://momentumcon.com/registration/hotel for registration.
