Welcome to the core

KINKY to The Core is a new, one-day Kink Lifestyle Conference that will be taking place in Downtown Hamilton on Sunday February 9 - Noon to 5pm, across multiple rooms in The Staircase Café Theatre, located at 25/27 Dundurn Street NORTH.  

The event will consist of workshops, performances, presentations, and of course the lively presence of our community of vendors from across the GTHA Region. It will be an opportunity to learn, connect, share knowledge, skills and information, and to network with Hamilton’s growing kink community.

The bright and airy Staircase Café will be open to serve you, so that you may refresh yourself with assorted drinks and snacks served by the friendly staff. The Café is fully licensed and serves a range of craft beers, cider and more.  What a great way to gather with your kinky friends!

If you have a kinky business that you would like to promote, KINKY to The Core is where you’re going to want to be… just in time for Valentine’s Day! Spaces are limited. Visit the event website to learn more, and to contact us to apply for your vendor space.

The main theatre adjacent to the Café is where one lucky vendor will be able to exhibit their business offerings at no charge, as a special guest of the conference. Newly launched, BIPOC-owned, woman-owned and youth-owned businesses are especially encouraged to apply for this unique space. This "Innovative Vendor Spotlight" space will benefit from plenty of attendee traffic, as the theatre will be used for five different presentations during the afternoon of the conference.

Use our CONTACT page to reach us through the website to request a Vendor Application Form, which will include more information about vending opportunities.
