Welcome to Southwest Love Fest 2026.
You made it. Whether you drove through the desert, flew in from across the country, or almost talked yourself out of coming — you're here, and that matters.
Take a breath. Look around. The people in this room came from all different places, all different relationship structures, all different points in their journey. Some of you have been coming to Love Fest for years. Some of you don't know a single person here yet. All of it is welcome.
This weekend is yours. The sessions, the conversations, the chance encounters in the hallway that turn into something you'll still be thinking about months from now — that's what we're here for. Not just the scheduled programming, but the stuff that happens in between. The connections that remind you that you're not doing this alone.
We built this event because this community deserves a place where it can gather, learn, and be honest with each other. Where the questions you carry don't have to stay quiet. Where the way you love isn't something to explain or defend.
The Love Fest Events team is so grateful you're here. We've worked hard to put together a weekend that meets you where you are — but the truth is, the thing that makes this event what it is isn't anything we planned. It's you.
So settle in. Introduce yourself to someone new. Be generous with each other. And let's make something worth talking about at the closing ceremony on Sunday.
