Pain To-Go: Micro-Toys with Big Reactions - Sir Shay Raven

We’ll dive into how to build scenes in tight or unexpected spaces such as hotel rooms, crowded events, back seats, and anywhere else opportunity strikes. You’ll learn how to negotiate quickly, manage discretion and noise, and create layered experiences that feel intentional, not improvised.

This isn’t about reckless play or grabbing whatever’s nearby. It’s about control, awareness, and knowing exactly how to use what you have to create impact.

Whether you’re new to kink or a seasoned sadist looking to travel lighter, you’ll leave with practical techniques, creative inspiration, and a new appreciation for just how much damage a “harmless” object can do.

Names/Labels/Boxes: The Low Down on different Labels and their Meanings - Freydis

Gender Identities, Sexual/Romantic Orientations, BDSM Archetypes, OH

Gender Identities, Sexual/Romantic Orientations, BDSM Archetypes, OH MY! What do all these names and labels mean? If I use a label, am I putting myself in a box? Everyone is different and finding two (or more) kinksters with the exact same preferences is probably impossible; but labels and roles can help us communicate who we are and what we’re looking for. Join Freydís as they define some of the many Gender Identities, Sexual/Romantic Orientations, and BDSM Archetypes you see in the Alternative Lifestyle community; and lead a discussion on our relationships to the labels and roles we utilize.

Trigger Warnings: This class may touch on topics that could be emotionally activating or triggering for some attendees. Potential trigger warnings include:

• Open discussions of gender identity, including experiences of dysphoria, questioning, invalidation, coming out, or navigating non-binary/trans/gender-expansive identities (which may reference bodies, societal expectations, or personal journeys).

• Conversations about sexual/romantic orientations, including ace/aro spectrum experiences, fluidity, or feeling "broken"/pressured by societal norms around attraction.

• Exploration of BDSM roles and power dynamics, which could include references to control, submission, pain, service, ageplay/CGL elements, or past experiences of feeling boxed in/misunderstood by labels or roles.

• Group sharing (optional) where attendees might disclose personal identities, frustrations with labels, or experiences of exclusion/marginalization in kink or LGBTQIA+ spaces.

The Bites & Growls of M/s -Sir Prussian Fyre & Slave Lucky Fyre

Master and slave relationships tend to follow an expected structure. However, in our practice of M/s, we chose to depart from the norm in favor of a more animalistic and energetic primal hierarchy. This is not M/s that is freely given, it is earned and conquered everyday. Where the slave is free to challenge and the Master must answer in kind.

Trigger Warnings - This class includes discussion of primal dynamics, power exchange, and consensual challenge within M/s relationships. Content may explore themes of dominance, resistance, and intense emotional or instinctual interaction.

You Want to Be a Titleholder: The Realities Behind the Title

- Lady Gidget , Levi , Sparkle Fox

A practical conversation designed for aspiring titleholders, community organizers, or newcomers who want to understand what truly goes into competing — from the logistics and deadlines to the mindset required to succeed (and what to learn if you don’t win).

Trigger Warnings - Possibility of Rejection

The Impacts of Event Accessibility on Disabled M/s Couples

- Master Lucian and his slave Celina

Disabilities come in a variety of forms including physical, cognitive, and emotional that all have their own accommodation strategies and functional impacts. M/s couples may build some of these accommodation strategies into their protocols or rituals to help manage the burden of some of these impacts together. Navigating event spaces introduces new dynamics outside of the control of attendees that may further impact accessibility navigation and accommodation. We hope that through open and vulnerable discussion of our experiences and the experiences of our community, we can develop strategies to advocate within our relationships and within our event spaces to create more enjoyable event experiences for all who choose to attend.

What we hope attendees learn from this class:

1) Identify the impacts of physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities on folks in event spaces.

2) Explore protocols and rituals that may assist disabled M/s couples in navigating event spaces.

3) Analyze the experiences of those in attendance to develop advocacy strategies and inform guidelines for accessible events.

Trigger warnings - We will be discussing vulnerable impacts of physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities. We encourage folks to engage in conversation only to the extent to which they are comfortable, and to step out if needed at any point should they need to take care of themselves.

Talks of CNC Play - Snake and Just Liz

Many people are aware of cnc, and free use being involved in play, as well as dynamics. There are many ways that both of those things can be used, but they are also both edge play, and have very real risk as well as dangers. We are going to talk about the risk they have that we may not think about, and how to help mitigate them by approaching them with caution. This will be a information heavy class, and participation is encouraged. This will be a class that will help you walk away with more awareness or tools, regardless of your role.

Sex Work in Relation to the Community - Charlie Doll , Mara

This class covers Terminology in the sex work communities going over both the various forms of SW as well as slurs pertaining to specific groups. The class then goes into Sex work and BDSM origins showing the two communities intertwined histories and how sex workers have historically shown up for kinky and Queer folx. I then touch on Sex workers’ contributions to our community such as safe locations, safer sex practices, and self exploration. Stigmatization plays a huge part in both the Kink and sex work communities, especially in legislation aimed at harming us. This class points out ways we as a community contribute to the further marginalization of sex workers. The class finishes up with ways to further our advocacy of sex workers.

Trigger Warnings - Slurs, misogyny, Whorephobia, police brutality

Mental Chess: playing with Brats - Melancholyghost and Chia

Brats are a hybrid of submission and playful defiance. They are always poking and prodding trying to get you to play with them. They want to be punished but they need a good reason why and they will provide it. A brat will dig a big hole for themselves and it is up to the brat handler to put them in said hole. We will take a twisting and turning ride, how to play mental chess with a brat by thinking three moves ahead. How to play their game but take the control. Checkmate!

Trigger Warnings -This will not only be a Demo but a discussion if you do not wish to discuss but just wish to observe we will ask for hands to respect others boundaries to not feel pushed to speak

Trans Sex Ed. - Boy Hayden

Do you wish to be the most informed sexual partner a trans person's probably ever experienced? Are you a trans person who was never represented in your sex ed class? Or maybe you're interested in surgery options available and how they fair in the bedroom department once all healed up?

Trans Sex Ed creates a safer, judgment-free zone to ask the questions that often go unspoken and unpack the topics many are too nervous—or too unsure—to explore openly. This class covers everything from approach and negotiations to anatomy to pleasure and safety to the massive amount of surgical options and nonsurgical accomodations available—with a focus on supporting and affirming trans people in play and beyond.

Learn how to be a more respectful, informed, and confident partner, play partner, or ally. If you want to expand your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and show up better for trans people in kink and queer spaces, this class is for you.

What I hope attendees to learn from this class:

1. How to confidentally approach a trans person and negotiate play, making it a comfortable experience for all involved.

2. Pleasure and safety concerns for a multitude of pre and post op anatomy.

Trigger warnings - medically anatomical language and explicit photos of fully healed post op results.

Scene To Scene: Applying Theatrical Principles to Kink - Finn Gerhardt

Actors and kinksters have more in common than you might think. Both live truthfully under imaginary circumstances, and both use their bodies as instruments of their craft. When International Person of Leather and 30-year stage veteran Finn Gerhardt realized this, they pulled philosophies and techniques from their training as an actor that they realized could improve kink scenes or dynamics. This class covers everything from the philosophy of gender and sexuality as performance to techniques to build a toolkit of intention, partner connection, voice and movement to help keep and maintain headspace.”
