IN PERSON – Dungeon Monitoring 101 with Youngscientist Do you want to start volunteering as a DM in the scene? Are you a staff member of an organization and need to brush up on safety knowledge in play spaces? Maybe you just really like wearing neon vests at parties? This class will primarily teach community members how to bridge their own scene knowledge, life skills, and critical thinking to facilitate safe play spaces and deal with various situations that may arise as a representative of a BDSM organization. Some subjects that will be covered include but aren’t limited to; maintaining party rules and etiquette, advanced play and scene limitations, equipment and dungeon safety, methods of communication, risk management, professionalism, consent and negotiation breakdowns, scene intervention, conflict resolution and deescalation, and critical first aid. All experience levels are welcome to attend, but this class will include many subjects that are above novice level. Bio: Youngscientist has been active in many facets of the scene for over 15 years. He’s volunteered and worked staff for at least a dozen organizations throughout that time, including being one of the few Pro-DM’s in the NYC area. Knowledge has been one of his main driving forces, which led him to start teaching early on. He’s probably most well known for teaching Wrestling/Grappling classes, and hosting Jello and Lube Wrestling events.

IN PERSON – Cheating at Hypnosis For Fun and Profit w/ SexObsessedLesbian Cheating at hypnosis” means stacking the deck in favor of a positive outcome. It might take the form of a loaded suggestion to help a new subject gain confidence or an inescapable double bind to make an experienced subject feel extra headfucked. And as a bonus, we’ll discuss some tried and true “lazy hypnotist” techniques—more shenanigans for less effort. The methods taught in this class elicit the full gamut of reactions from “Wow, I can’t believe that worked!” to “You fucker, I can’t believe that worked!” (This class is primarily ‘tist-directed, but subjects, subs, bottoms, etc. are all very welcome and there will be plenty of useful information for all!) Bio: SexObsessedLesbian is a kinkster, kink educator, and content creator based in the Eastern US; she has been doing hypnosis since just after college, nerding out about sex since high school, and making bad puns since approximately forever. Hypnosis turned her on before she even knew what it meant to get turned on, and the wonderful world of Tumblr taught her that it was an actual thing. Since then, she’s been romping around the countryside thinking and talking about consent, creativity, and ways to do silly and sexy things with people’s brains.
