Kink Producer Network Group

In 2015, the Kink Producer Network Group (KPNG) was established as a private Google group to bring together individuals with a common interest in producing events, booking kink, sexuality, and relationship presenters, as well as owning or managing playspaces and events. The group serves as a flat-structured networking tool, enabling peers to get to know one another, share information, and learn from each other. KPNG has members from around the world in roles that range from managing local events to producing international bondage conventions to organizing polyamory conferences.

KPNG’s purposes and goals include:

• Connecting producers and organizers to share knowledge relevant to putting together kink, sexuality, and relationship events. This can include managing event logistics, promoting equity, implementing best practices for advertising, ensuring event safety, addressing social justice issues, and providing vendor recommendations, among other tasks.

• Facilitating presenter vetting and recommendations. (We encourage and, when available, include statements from any/all parties or stakeholders involved. We aim to provide producers with access to first-person accounts, facilitating informed booking decisions while maximizing their exposure to as many data points as possible.

• Providing peer support.

KPNG is a private group, and members are screened; the moderators reserve the right to refuse entry to the group and/or remove members at any time.

Joining KPNG requires group members to have direct, hands-on experience in producing events. We cannot add folks based on interest or future plans to produce events.

We ask that folks join KPNG as individual humans, not as organizations. This means we want you to join as Joe Blow, leader of AwesomeSpace, JoeBlow@Awesomespace.org – not as AwesomeSpace@gmail.com (no specific human indicated). Please feel free to email us if you have questions regarding this! 

If you have questions or comments, you can contact any of the KPNG current active moderators (WhiskyTangoFoxy, Shay, and Lisa).
