Held at the Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront Hotel, and primarily sponsored by Clips4Sale, Fetish Con is the largest networking event for the fetish industry and community on the East Coast.

As Fetish Con enters its 17th year, attendees will also enjoy the sophomore return of the Fetish Awards, which highlight and honor those who have been integral to the overall growth of the fetish and alternative industry. Whether a model or an actor, a producer or a production company, a live stage performer or webcam model, a fetish/alternative clothing company or an adult toy/novelty company, organizers had invited the public to nominate their favorites.

With classes, the Twisted Dungeon (which offers private play space, live fetish shows, after-hour parties), and the Pervy Pool Party that never stops, Fetish Con which began in New York in 2001 has grown to an internationally recognized and anticipated event within the fetish industry and community. Blowing the doors off the party scene in Florida every year since 2004, when the event moved there from New York, the event brings in thousands of fetish performers, production companies, and kinksters together for an unforgettable four-day weekend.
With a long and successful history, Fetish Con brought in over 8000 attendees last year, with over 300 models and 70 vendors on hand to meet with fans and consumers. To register to attend, click here. All Fetish Con events are restricted to those 18 years of age and over. All trade show events, with the exception of sanctioned, off-site, after-hours parties, will be taking place at the Hilton St. Petersburg Bayfront over the course of the four-day event.
Additional information on parties, classes and events will be made available as the trade show draws nearer.
