TAMPA, FL –Fetish Con has announced dates and schedules for its 14th annual fetish industry and community trade show.
Returning to the Hilton Tampa Downtown in Florida and proudly sponsored byClips4Sale, the largest networking event for the fetish industry and community on the East Coast will occur Aug. 7-10.
“We can’t believe we are about to kick off our 14th Fetish Con!” said event promoter Genesis Lynn. “As cliché as it sounds, it feels like just yesterday we were organizing our very first event back in 2001. All of us —Vesta, Mike and I—get more excited about the show each year. We look forward to bringing both new and experienced industry members together, as well as offering an exciting event for the local fetish community, fans, and first time attendees.”
With classes, private dungeon, live fetish shows, art gallery, after-hour parties and the pervy pool party that never stops, Fetish Con has grown to an internationally recognized and hugely anticipated event within the fetish industry and community. Blowing the doors off the party scene in Tampa every year since 2004, when the event moved to sunny Florida from New York, the event brings thousands of fetish performers, production companies, and kinksters together for an unforgettable four-day weekend.
This year, the dungeon/play space hours have been extended all weekend long, allowing all attendees the flexibility to enjoy private play as well as visit all classes, workshops, and booths on the trade show floor. The Fan Photo Shoot, where sexy models will be bound and gagged for a photo shoot blitz by fans, will also be returning for its 14th year. In addition, the 9th Annual Super Heroine Showdown will again be hosted by writer and illustrator George Perez of Avengers/Teen Titans/Wonder Woman fame, for an epic cosplay-meets-bondage show on the main stage.

“Fetish Con 2014 has so many new and exciting events that will debut this year; we cannot wait to unveil them!” Lynn said. “Industry attendees can participate in a free B2B event, called ‘The Fetish Connect’. Registered models and producers are invited to take part in this intensive 1-on-1 Speed Networking Session! During this event, attendees will be able to put a face to a name and exchange business cards and contact information while at Fetish Con. It’s the perfect opportunity to meet and network before the parties begin, and an ideal place to set-up shoots too!
“In addition, we are kicking off the trade show with the ‘Kinky [RED] Carpet,’" Lynn continued. "We're taking the red carpet to a whole new level! The Pervy Paparazzi will be out in full force, snapping photos, as it is sure to be a fetishists’ and fans’ wet dream as all the wild and sexy special guests, models and attendees strike a pose. This event will be streamed live on FetishCon.com; we will also have real-time photo updates on Instagram, at http://instagram.com/fetishcon. Also, you asked, and we listened! The Official Fetish Con Private Dungeon Play Space will be open to every attendee for up to 19 hours per day (times noted on website), where you can let your deepest fantasies come to fruition!”
