Thank you and followups!
KinkForAll Denver was fantastic and is now over. Nevertheless, this page and its related pages will continue to evolve!
The event was a wonderful success! The headcount during closing essential communications (the last session of the day) was 47 people, and we estimate that there were somewhere along the lines of 100 participants at some points during the day, with over 40 sessions throughout the day! Although the event itself is over, this is just the beginning. Some things to do now are:
- Upload your photos, slideshows, videos, and other media to the Internet, and write blog posts (don't forget to tag all of these with "KFADEN").
- View KFADEN's resulting schedule grid and use it to browse through the available media from the presentations you may have missed.
- Start thinking about what you're going to do for KinkForAll Denver 2, or unorganize it yourself! ;)
KinkForAllDenver - Feb 25th
On Sat, Feb 25th from 10a - 5p, converge on the Tivoli's Baerresen Ballrooms to talk about sexuality, gender, relationships, and anything & everything to do with them! KinkForAll Denver is free, all-ages, locally organized and open to the public. We'll be teaching each other, sharing resources, making connections, and exchanging ideas about the many intersections between sexuality and the rest of life. Join us!
There are no spectators, only participants. KinkForAll Denver is about you, your communities, and what you have to say. Come with a 20 minute presentation, workshop, skillshare, discussion topic, or another idea you want to share OR come lend a hand with timekeeping, greeting, video recording, translation, interpreting, childcare, clean-up, etc. Bring artwork. Bring 'zines. Bring info about your organization. Everyone's contribution is important. Help us create an amazing, fun, fast-paced, collaborative space!

Hopefully attend, and feel free to ask me for help or assistance once I am there. |
Personal community mapping, relationships as drag, and I don't really understand TCP/IP as a framework for understanding consent, but maybe I should know more about it. Also how do you learn techniques from others and still draw the line of boundaries? And how do you navigate a relationship in order to find win-win-win (win) outcomes in a multifacet relationship? |
