Panels & Workshops You Won’t Want to Miss
1. Sex & Money: The Ultimate Power Couple
Sex and money—two forces that run the world. In this lively panel, experts will unpack how these two themes intertwine in relationships, culture, and identity. Let’s talk about everything from sugar daddies to sexual empowerment in the corporate world. How do finances affect desire? Can money buy freedom or pleasure? Come, let’s find out together!
2. LBQ Gathering: Queer Conversations
This one’s for our lesbian, bisexual, and queer community!
Join us for an empowering, inclusive discussion about how the intersections of queerness, sexuality, and money shape our experiences. This safe space will allow LBQ individuals to explore their own narratives and discuss the complexities of love, desire, and financial independence. Everyone’s voice matters, and queer people are part of this conversation!
3. All the Feels: Men and Masculinities
Toxic masculinity? Emotional vulnerability? Financial expectations? Sexual liberation? This workshop will dive deep into what it means to be a man in today’s world, especially when it comes to sex and money.
Breaking the stereotypes and rebuilding a healthier narrative around masculinity. Whether you’re exploring new ideas or just curious, this panel is open to everyone who wants to rethink what it means to ‘be a man’ in today’s world.
