A one-day inaugural Southeast Asian LGBTQ+ Research Symposium was held on 26 July 2025. The symposium received 200 expressions of interest. We featured Associate Professor Ee Ling Quah and Dr Shawna Tang as keynote speakers, and Associate Professor Nanchatsan Sakunpong, Dr Liow Jun Wei, Aron Harold Pamoso, Mason Viet Trinh, and Rolf Gian Marcos as speakers. There were also interactive forum sessions with attendees, where we discussed how to conduct research around key priority areas identified through our survey.
