The Transcending Boundaries Conference (TBC) was a Northeast American convention for bisexual + other middle sexualities, genderqueer, transgender, intersex, polyamorous and other people who do fall outside strict binaries as well as their family, friends, and straight allies.

The new organizing committee comprised three founding members: Lisa Jacobs (President), Alice Leibowitz (Treasurer), and Vincent Cangiano (Secretary), all of Connecticut.

They expanded scope of the conference in two ways: First, it widened the geographical reach to include the entire Northeastern United States.

They also retitled the conference to Transcending Boundaries both to reflect this policy, and to acknowledge that mainstream cultural conceptions of sex and gender often compartmentalize their varied expressions.

The scope of the conference later expanded to include such underrepresented groups as asexual, genderqueer, and "kinky" people.
