What we’re about
Asexuals and Aromantics of the Mid-Atlantic: Baltimore is a Meetup group for anyone on the asexual and/or aromantic spectrum or people who do not experience sexual and/or romantic attraction. We are a group dedicated to the enrichment of the lives of asexuals and aromantics by providing support and friendship in an open and caring environment. It is our goal to make all members feel comfortable in sharing their thoughts and experiences, and all are free to contribute as much or as little as they wish in our discussions.
This group was created as a branch group of an Ace Meetup group that is centered in Washington, DC for those who live in the Baltimore, MD area. We may do joint Meetups with the original Asexuals and Aromantics of the Mid-Atlantic group, but the idea of having this branch group is to be centered in Baltimore. We want to create and build on our ace and aro community that is here in Baltimore.

See all- Friday, June 6th: Aces & Aros Unconference in Washington DC!Chastleton Ballroom, Washington, DC
You must sign up through Eventbrite because there is limited space in this venue and it will be ticketed entry only. FYI we already have 25 confirmed attendees, and we know we'll allow at least 60 people to come to the event, maybe more like 75? We're still figuring out maximum capacity. To help with some fundraising for basic costs associated with this unconference, this event costs $25 per ticket, although if you need a code for getting in for free, just message Emily (one of the hosts of this event) and she can provide you a code. We don't want anyone to be turned away for lack of ability to pay! https://www.eventbrite.com/e/aces-aros-of-the-mid-atlantic-washington-dc-unconference-tickets-1324702293219

What is an Unconference?
An unconference is an unstructured conference where attendees determine the agenda. At our unconference, we will determine discussion topics at the start of the event. (Example topics: gender in the ace/aro communities, navigating dating, singlehood challenges for non-partnering aspecs, representation in media, etc) Attendees will determine which discussions they want to be a part of and then we will break out into smaller groups to discuss chosen topics. We will have multiple rounds of discussions, with multiple topics being talked about at any given time. The last round will be reserved for continuation of previous topics.
Please note that the Unconference is intended as a conversation space, not an educational 101 space. Unconference attendees are not here to educate you or to answer your personal curiosity, whether it's questions about (a)sexuality, gender, or anything else.
