DESIGNED AND MANAGED BY GAY PARENTS

Having an event completely designed around the needs of the LGBTQ+ and Queer community, is long overdue. It's actually embarrassing it doesn't exist. Our founders (Michael and Wes) very own family building journey, and their passion for fighting for equitable access to fertility care and family building options. Their passion and dedication have led them to create this unique family creation event in San Fransisco, as well as London, UK and Sydney, Australia. We're proudly taking residency at the impressive James R. Herman Cruise Terminal at Pier 27 on Saturday, October 29th 2022.

PROUD

We’re confident that The Modern Family Show Expo has ambition to not only look and feel different, but with its uniquely marketed design and overall event objective were confident we will give both Intended Parents/Carers and Exhibitors an event to be proud of.

The Modern Family Show Expo has teamed up with some of the UK’s leading Social Media Parenting Influencers (our advocates) to act as the voice for their chosen family group and wider parenting community, to ensure they are represented and help promote the event on Facebook, Instagram and in their blogs to a targeted LGBTQ+ audience, something never attempted before in the US. Our advocates are all parents or parents to be, and whether that’s as a result of Fostering, Adoption, Trans-Parents, Co-parenting, Surrogacy or Sperm/Egg donation, we have one of the most authentic marketing campaigns ever attempted for a US LGBTQ+ and family building event.

ALL WELCOME

We want everyone to achieve their dreams of family building, that's why the show is about modern family building. The traditional way isn't always possible with 1 in 7 heterosexual people in the US impacted by infertility - this show is for you too.

EVENT HISTORY

The team at The Modern Family Show Expo know all too well the issues and challenges faced when wanting to create a family; after all our team are all same sex parents themselves and have been on quite the journey to parenthood.

Their passion and dedication has led them to create this unique family creation event originally in the heart of central london in 2021 and due to it's success it's now coming to US in October 2022 and Australia in April 2023.
