A Special Interest Group is just that: a sub-group of OutWorlders that serves a very specific purpose and focuses on the needs and interests of a specific group. SIGs have special status within OutWorlders.

OutWorlders currently has three SIGs in place:

OutWorldReaders:

Our book discussion group, which meets monthly to talk about a certain title that the group has read. Please visit their page for a list of the titles that they've enjoyed (or not), reviews, recommendations, and more.

Ever since OutWorlders formed, there has been talk of eventually hosting Gaylaxicon in Atlanta. That dream will now come true: this group formed with the express purpose of composing a bid for Gaylaxicon 2007, which they won in July of 2005. Please visit their page to learn the latest on G'con 2007, how you can get involved, or what you can do to be involved in their other projects.
