Black Kink Network Virtual Summit

Tickets Are NOW on Sale!!!!

The Black Kink Network Virtual Summit is a two-day online gathering centering Black voices, lived experience, and cultural context within kink, BDSM, and alternative relationship structures.

Across panels, interviews, and community conversations, the summit explores how power, identity, pleasure, shame, spirituality, and relationships are lived and negotiated within Black kink communities.

You’ll hear from educators, organizers, performers, and practitioners whose work spans:

• Dominance, submission, and power exchange
• Polyamory and M/s dynamics
• Gender, masculinity, femininity, and trans experiences
• Event creation, vetting, and intentional communitybuilding
• Religion, shame, and erotic identity
• Media, representation, and cultural storytelling

Day One features BKN Signature Programming, including short-form “Hot Spot” talks that spotlight voices, ideas, and provocations from across the network - offering a snapshot of the diversity and depth within Black kink culture.

Day Two shifts into focused educational panels and reflective conversation, creating space for synthesis, meaning-making, and collective insight.

This summit is designed for:

• Kinksters at any stage of their journey
• Community organizers and educators
• People navigating power, polyamory, or alternative relationships
• Those seeking cultural context - not just content

Attendance can be active or observational. Participation is invited, never required.

This is a space for listening, learning, and remembering that kink does not exist in a vacuum. It lives inside culture, history, and community.

(Please keep in mind that if you cannot attend the BKN summit, many of our active HOTSPOTS are hosting virtual and in-person events that do not cost. We've got upcoming free offerings in Snap Crackle Pop-Up Kink, SpeakEasy Noir, COVET, Dallas Black Munch, and the Detroit Deviants Dinner Club.)
