DomCon New Orleans, a professional and lifestyle BDSM convention, is scheduled to return October 10-13, 2024, at the Astor Crowne Plaza Hotel in the city's historic French Quarter. The event will feature educational classes, workshops, social events, parties, and an exhibition of kinky products and fetish fashions.
Event Overview and Schedule
The convention, sponsored by Bad Dragon, JustFor.Fans, and Hustler Hollywood, draws Dominatrixes, sex educators, photographers, and fetish models from around the world. DomCon New Orleans will begin on Thursday, October 10, with classes tailored for professionals and those new to the business aspects of BDSM. The expo will open to the general public on Thursday night with a red carpet celebration.
On Friday night, Dommes, sex workers, leatherfolk, friends, and allies are expected to participate in the annual DomCon Second Line Parade.
