Queer Concordia Presents
Queer Prom
Join us on May 4th from 7pm-12am for our biggest event ever! This night is special for us and for those who never had a chance at prom presenting as their true selves, it will be a night to celebrate for everyone.
The Venue
The JMSB Conference Centre is located on the 9th floor of the MB building, fully accessible by Metro or nearby Bixi stations! And for this night only it will also include gender neutral bathrooms courtesy of us!
​
There will be 2 large rooms, one with the food and a place to sit or relax, and the photo booth. As well as the larger dancing room that will feature a nice view of the city and lights to liven the mood.
Accessibility
Want to get here in an environmentally friendly way? Take the Metro! With direct Metro access the MB building ensured that people can get home safely even after a few drinks.
Alternatively, you can take a Bixi to get here as the De Maisonneuve bike path runs right along the north side of the building!
The elevators also ensure that people with any mobility needs are well taken care of.
Catering
This is not your typical event, we really wanted to go all out.
Food will be available from 3 different caterers including:
-
Nilufar - Gluten Free & Vegan Food
-
Petites Mains - Chicken Tajine w/ Greek Salad
-
Domino's - (Cheese, Pepperoni, Vegetarian, Hawaiin, All Dressed, BBQ Chicken Bacon)
Drinks Menu
Not one to drink? Don't worry we've got you covered!
Take a look at our menu which includes alcoholic and non-alcoholic options without any profit-driven markup!
​
Drink tickets will be sold for exchange at the front lounge registration tables to keep the bar from being overcrowded.
Etiquette
Feeling anxious ahead of meeting a ton of new people?
Just follow some of these steps to be respectful!
-
Introduce yourself with your name and pronouns
-
Take an optional sticker to display them
-
Try not to drink too much! If you're feeling tipsy, we'll have non alcoholic drinks to enjoy as well! We want everyone to feel at ease.
-
Talk to GRIP if you're feeling overwhelmed! They will be next to the elevators to provide psychosocial support, safe drug testing and have information pamphlets on a wide array of subjects like consent and STIs.
-
Don't touch people without their consent, including during the more intense dance periods.
-
Don't hesitate to tell security if you see something wrong! They will be on site at the event entrances/exits to ensure no one sneaks in but your safety and comfort is the number 1 priority
