Queer Black Excellence x Rainbow Arcade Summit 2020

The Queer Black Excellence x Rainbow Arcade Summit is a free two-day, Front Page event in conjunction with Twin Cities’ Queer Black Excellence and sponsored by Twitch and I Need Diverse Games. The summit takes place on Monday, November 9th and Tuesday, November 10th starting at 12pm ET (9am PT) each day. The events are being hosted by Rainbow Arcade, an LGBTQIA2+ Twitch Stream Team committed to diversity & inclusion in gaming, tech, and beyond.

This virtual summit will feature two film showcases created by Twin Cities’ Queer Black Excellence to kick off each day. Both films feature roundtable discussions, speeches, and performances all by and centered on the Black LGBTQIA+ community. Following each Twin Cities’ Queer Black Excellence film showcase, LGBTQIA+ BIPOC creators on Twitch will share their experiences on a panel tied directly to the conversations had during the films. Additional panels will follow and will continue conversations on a range of topics. The virtual summit will be hosted on the Rainbow Arcade’s official Twitch channel, which you can follow now at twitch.tv/rainbowarcade to ensure you receive notifications.
