Abstract

The 4th International Feminist Geography Conference, Pushing Boundaries, was held both virtually and in-person at the University of Colorado at Boulder, 15–17 June 2022. The goal of the conference was to bring together feminist geographers from around the world to share their work, exchange ideas, and build professional connections toward advancing feminist scholarship. In this article, four of the conference organizers come together to share their experiences with the process of organizing a feminist conference and the lessons learned along the way, as well as at each stage of planning. Our intended audience is people who have not previously organized a hybrid conference (as we had not). By discussing and addressing challenges and recommendations—including, but not limited to conference format, scheduling, budget, technical support, social media, and timeline—we aim to foster more opportunities for organizing inclusive hybrid conferences in the future.
