    Smiley Is anyone else going to the Vegas conference for sex workers this July?

    Hi all,

    I am new to this board, but have been a dancer in the U.S. for over 15 years (both in clubs & for private parties). I am dancing less since my kids have finished high school & are in college (yay!) and have returned to school myself to work on my PhD. It is all possible!!!

    I am currently living in Las Vegas and will be attending the Desiree Alliance conference for people working in the sex industry (including exotic dancers) this July 25-30 in Vegas.

    Is anyone else planning to go (who lives in the city or plans to travel here)? I would love to network with you!

    Thanks
    xoxo

    Do you have a link to it?

    I (think) most club entertainers prefer to not think of themselves as "Sex Workers"

    It's been the subject of many discussion threads over the years.

    Yeah. Hook me up with a link. I don't think I can go. I got nudes a popping and I need to save money, but who's to say?

    Nina Hartley is speaking this year, as well as Norma Jean Almodovar (she wrote "Cop to Callgirl"). Sounds like it will fun!

    Regardless of what many 'club entertainers' prefer to think about themselves, nude dancing, topless dancing, table dancing, lap dancing, VIP dancing, is still a form of sex work.

    @camille27: I worked in Ohio for a looong time.

    The conference activities take place during the heat of the day in a beautiful air conditioned hotel/casino (from about 10 am - evening). It's totally doable to hit the outdoor pool in early morning & go out in later evening, even in July in Vegas. I've lived here for a couple years now. I lived in the humidity of Florida for awhile, too - much worse there in summer.

    so it's $200 to attend, and they will only reveal the cost of the hotel once you register? i would really like to go.

    That would be great! The cost of the hotel is $25 a night for conference guests - super good price, newly remodeled & nice rooms. (I already checked them out for people since it's right up the road from me.)

    I was told they don't reveal the hotel location until someone registers in order to be more discreet because the organization had some issues with press (they hadn't approved) waiting in the hotel in the past.

    Is the hotel on the strip? Great room rates. What are the after parties like?

    Desiree Alliance just got an awesome performance art show for the conference backed through donations by kickstarter. Check out a sneak peak... looks awesome!



    There will be all kinds of entertainment in the evening including a pool party, night clubbing, and a closing performance at the Erotic Heritage Museum. This is looking fun! I am excited! Here is a link to the tentative schedule of conference & night life activities posted so far:

    Sounds great, I would've loved to attend. Hopefully I can make the next conference- is it every year?

    Wow. Whatever respect I had for you and your business, I just lost it all. We are all sex workers. By making statements like that, you're only perpetuating the stigma around the semantics.

    The reveal the location and cost as soon as you register, yes. This is for security reasons. Registration cost also includes meals at the conference.

    There's a corresponding thread in 'Other Work' about the conference. I talk a bit about my plans to volunteer at the conference on there.
