QueerCon is more than a festival: it is an economic engine for the LGBTQIA+ community. Organized by the Philippine LGBT Chamber of Commerce (PLCC), QueerCon is a pioneering 100% queer and queer-allied marketplace that puts the spotlight on the businesses driving our community forward.
Currently, around 55,000 businesses in the Philippines are owned and operated by LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs, contributing approximately 2% (or $9 to $10 billion) to the national GDP.
QueerCon brings these micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) together under one roof. From drag economics and queer fashion to handcrafted goods and tech apps, this expo proves that inclusive commerce generates real excitement and opportunity.
Every booth visited and every purchase made is a direct vote for equity, visibility, and job creation.
To champion economic empowerment and professional excellence by driving transformative leadership and decisive action for Filipino LGBTQIA+ and LGBTQIA+-allied entrepreneurs.
To set the definitive standard for LGBTQIA+ equality, acceptance, and inclusion in Philippine business, and beyond.
