CatalystCon is a three-day conference founded by Dee Dennis with workshops and panels that foster dialogue surrounding all aspects of sexuality and sex-positivity. Its mission is to “spark communication in sexuality, acceptance & activism”, with the belief that knowledge comes first and foremost before activism. Participants, both speakers and attendees, include “sex educators, sexologists, sex workers, writers, activists, and anyone with a passion for creating change.” The conference will be held from March 15-17, 2013, in Washington, D.C and includes sessions that promise to be practical, political, and educational. A few examples include:
- How to Be an Ally to Sex Workers in Theory and Practice
- The Online Activist: Ready, Set, TWEET!
- Slut Shaming in Sex Positive Communities
Registration is open now here, with early bird specials for those who register before Dec. 15. Students also receive a $10 discount, but have to be 18+ to attend.
