The Kink Workshop Conference 2026

The Kink Workshop Conference is back for its second year — three days of BDSM education, hands-on skill building, and community in San Diego.

Last year's single-day event sold out. This year we go bigger: more educators, more tracks, more time to practice, connect, and integrate what you learn.

FRIDAY, JULY 10 — ARRIVAL DAY
Doors open. Check-in and registration begins. Meet and greet. No classes scheduled — settle in, meet people, get oriented.

SATURDAY, JULY 11 — FULL PROGRAM
Vendor hall open. Lecture and discussion classes run throughout the day across multiple teaching rooms, alongside hands-on workshops with dedicated practice time. Saturday closes with the Play Party from 9:00 PM – 1:00 AM.

SUNDAY, JULY 12 — INTEGRATION
Soft skills sessions and facilitated discussions focused on communication, consent, and relationship dynamics. Conference closes at 2:00 PM.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Lecture and discussion classes from experienced educators across multiple tracks. Hands-on workshops with guided skill-building and dedicated practice time. Vendor marketplace on Saturday. Saturday night play party. Soft skills and integration sessions Sunday morning.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Adults 18+ of all experience levels, orientations, identities, and dynamics. Whether you are new to kink or have years in the scene, this conference is built for you.

IMPORTANT

This is an educational event. Hands-on classes provide a structured environment for skill-building under educator guidance. Consent, safety, and respect are non-negotiable and actively enforced.
