I can't officially go to events like that because of requirements to register with your legal name and show an ID. However, I have hung around DomCon NOLA and had a great time hanging out with Domme friends and meeting new people outside of the official events.

Both of the DomCons are awesome for networking with your fellow Dommes and they are the most Pro friendly of all the cons that I know of since it is run by Pro Dommes.
