KEYNOTE ADDRESS:
Education, The Future Of Our Lifestyle (overview)

Our community is expanding, not just in attendance figures, but also in scope. With more and more people doing a greater variety of things we have an increasing need to expand our commitment to education.

Kinky Kollege is a great example of the actualization of that commitment as is the Leather Leadership Conference and a score of newer projects. Increasing both the number of events focused on education and the number workshops presented is a great step in the right direction but it only addresses part of our need.

The larger we grow and the more complex we become the greater is our need to look outside our comfort zone.

Attend the opening ceremony to hear this important message from this world renown Alternative Lifestyle speaker and educator.
