Queer Quest invites participants to experience quantum science not only as a discipline—but as a liberatory framework for reimagining identity, healing, and possibility. This immersive two-day event, held in partnership with Center on Halsted and a satellite event to Arlan Hamilton’s Your First Million Live, is curated for LGBTQIA+ Black and Brown professionals working at the intersection of STEAM and mental health.

Queer Quest offers a multidimensional experience where participants

• Reconnect in culturally affirming spaces
• Learn from dynamic keynote speakers
• Explore decolonial frameworks in workshops like “Healing in Oppressive Systems” and “Reclaiming Rest as Resistance”

At the center lies the Mental Health & STEAM Resource Village, where inclusive therapy collectives and hands-on quantum demos anchor a community of care.

Queer Quest is a first-of-its-kind event that makes quantum science radically accessible, emotionally resonant, and culturally grounded—proving that no one owns quantum science, and everyone is invited.
