Why Partner with Austin Kink Weekend?

Austin Kink Weekend has established itself as a key gathering for the kink and leather communities, drawing participants from around the world. This year, we are expecting an even larger turnout, with a diverse audience eager to engage with brands that resonate with their values and interests.

Our event offers a unique blend of education, entertainment, and community-building. In previous years, Austin Kink Weekend has celebrated our community with:

  • Over a dozen kink education workshops and panels led by community experts and leaders, like Master J. Tebias Perry, Alistair LeatherHiraeth, Hardy Haberman, and Doctor Carlton offering insights into various aspects of BDSM, leather culture, and LGBTQ+ issues.
  • High-energy themed parties that have featured performances by acclaimed DJs such as Nina Flowers and Vicky Kuba!
  • Signature contests, including the Mr. & Ms. Texas Leather Contest and the Texas Pet & Handler Contest, celebrating the creativity and passion of the community.
  • A bustling Gear Market, where attendees can discover innovative products from talented queer and international entrepreneurs.

By sponsoring Austin Kink Weekend, your brand will have the opportunity to connect with a highly engaged, loyal, and diverse audience. Whether through exclusive event access, branding opportunities, or direct engagement with attendees, your presence at AKW will showcase your commitment to supporting and empowering the LGBTQ+ and kink communities.
