Join with over 500 leatherfolk from all over the US, Canada and beyond as we gather once again for the eighth annual Southwest Leather Conference. Welcome home!
Owned and produced by Butchmanns, Inc., a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit national educational organization, Southwest Leather Conference was first launched in December 2002 and has since become widely recognized as "The Gathering of Leather Heart & Spirit."
With its emphasis on education and the interpersonal and spiritual dynamics of D/s relationships and SM practices, SWLC provides its attendees with opportunities for a profoundly deeper experience of BDSM, irrespective of sexual orientation, gender identity, age, nationality, or religious/spiritual affiliation. SWLC also provides a vehicle for regional leather clubs, organizations and individuals to gather and celebrate the leather tribe of which we are all a part.
Although SWLC is not directly affiliated with any other group or organization, the weekend is made possible only by the efforts of many individuals, leather clubs and community organizations throughout the world, the United States, and from within the Southwest region (Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah).
The Butchmanns, Inc., Board of Directors consists of Master Z (Chairman), Master Bert Cutler (Vice Chairman), slaveMistress Bonnie (Secretary), slave Ed (Treasurer), Kozen, Master Skip Chasey, Kirk, slave Alia (SWLC Liaison), and Master Bob (MAsT Liaison). In addition, five individuals make up the SWLC Executive Committee: slave Alia (Executive Director), Master Alan, slave jackie*, BootPig, and Jerome. Please feel free to contact any member of the Executive Committee at SWLCExecComm@gmail.com for any questions you may have.
