Workshops and Presenters
WhipMasterBob
WhipMaster Bob Clark has been involved in M/s relationships and the leather community for nearly 30 years, enjoying partnerships and play relationships with men and women, and enjoying every opportunity to meet new people. Heavily experienced in SM, and edge play in particular, he was gifted with his name through his prowess with singletails. He believes that honor and integrity are paramount in his relationships and dealings with everyone. His tastes in SM are as broad and varied as the lifestyle itself ranging from being a new player's "first time" to an advanced player's roller coaster ride operator.
Although, pushing the envelope is a passion, and Bob believes the essence of edge play is pure, unadulterated and brutal truth. So, from a spiritual side, you could call him a seeker of truth. His philosophy and desire, is to make a positive difference within the community, believing that "paying it forward" does honor, to those that came before and taught him.
In the midst of all this serious truthseeking and pain dispensing, he manages to keep a great sense of humor and has had opportunity to travel the US with his property, BootPig, having adventures, meeting people and teaching at events such as TESFest, Folsom Fringe, Tribal Fire, Southwest Leather and more.
Bootpig
I've been in service now for more than 10 years, the last blessed nine being in service to Sir. Although my first label is slave, the term pig is more suitable to my range of fun from formal service to outlandish bottoming to topping and willingness to try new stuff. Open and forward, willing to share both the good and bad experiences, I'm either a breath of fresh air, or quickly identified as headstrong.
I have been most fortunate on my leather path to be chosen for leadership positions such as Ms. Olympus Leather 2003, a former President of the Phoenix Boys of Leather, the Coordinator for Southwest Bootblack for well, forever, and now this year as a member of the Executive Committee. I have been further graced with opportunities to teach at events across the country, including becoming parts of families at some of these events. Tribal Fire - Oklahoma City, WOOLF Leather Camp -Wichita, Folsom Fringe, TESfest, Great Lakes Leather, and SouthPlains Leather Fest. It was my great honor to receive the Rocky Mountain Region Pantheon Award this year, along with Lauren, and to be receive the SWLC Leatherwoman's Heart Award in 2008. I continue to describe my life as "charmed". I would not trade it for anything.
These days, I work, teach (professionally and leather), make cheese, plant gardens, bootblack, play hard and dream of a small sustainable farm that Sir and I share on our path of right living with presence and focus.
Robert Campbell
My name is Robert Campbell; I'm a sadistic, rope-loving hedonist, and I live my life by what brings me pleasure. Life is too short and at times, very uncertain, so not to enjoy every moment we can is such a Waste! So, I live life, and I do my share of laughing, usually a lot and loudly. I am extremely laid back, but I'm also very passionate about my D/s Lifestyle, Japanese Rope Bondage, and sex and sexuality. I started my studies in the lifestyle in Germany, My House "Der Stamm Verdammt Seelen.” Franz was my mentor, from 1973 - 1977. I have spent time learning from others in Mexico, Canada, and U.S. In 2007 I was invited to Japan and studied with Osada Steve. While there, I learned the techniques of Japanese Rope Bondage & Art and increased my knowledge of rope and its use in binding the human body. I am a member of the NLA-I and a Charter member of the NLA- Colorado I am a NLA- Colorado Chapter representative for the NLA-I
Arli
Arli is a fierce, fat, femme dyke with a passion for all things pink and a penchant for sparkle. At 5 she engaged in her first spanking with the neighbour girl. She has been busy trying to get spanked and flogged ever since.
Arli began to search for other kinky folks at 19; fortunately she didn't have to look for long. Her exploration began in earnest before her 20th birthday. In the mid 1990s Arli stumbled upon a party at a downtown hotel and within months found her volunteering regularly. Since then several organizations in Vancouver, Canada have welcomed her time and energy. They include NLA-BC, The Other-Side, Bound (a women's BDSM party), Purgatory, MVK. Most recently her efforts have been focused with Canadian Mayhem/Bride of Pride on creating fabulous parties and the first kinky women’s conference in Vancouver in more than decade. Arli has also run the Vancouver DM Team since 2005 offering DM training several times a year.
Arli has been presenting on a variety of topics in and around Vancouver for 15 years. In 2010 Arli was delighted to be invited to present in Edmonton for Lupercalia, a pansexual group celebrating its 10th annual conference. June found Arli presenting in the desert of California for the women of DESIRE an event that she looks forward to every year.
If you find yourselves questioning the yummy smells in the air you are not mistaken as Arli is often found in the age play area happily playing with her TWO-soon to be three- Easy Bake ovens making cookies to share with all the guests. Go ahead and ask her for one, but don't be surprised if you're met with the enthusiasm of a 4 year old, as that is one of her favorite ages to revisit. Someone once said the kinkiest thing they had seen in a dungeon was Arli in her jammies delivering freshly baked cookies.

Scott Smith
Scott Smith grew up in the Northwest and began exploring the facets of S&M at an early age. With his creative and rather deviant mind, he enthusiastically developed his techniques of bondage and suspension from his experience with nautical and high angle rope work. The powerful physical interactions that became the hallmark of his S&M activities were initially necessities for various activities including white water rafting, scuba, climbing, and paramedical rescue.
Scott brings a distinct intensity and passion to the ebb and flow of learning, teaching and actualizing S&M. A believer that the magic of BDSM comes through the connection of the participants, his workshops develop and nurture that connection; while maintaining a decidedly sadistic edginess.
Starting in the early 90's, Scott has presented countless workshops and seminars throughout North America for organizations large and small. Scott is internationally known for his rope work, connection, and edge play workshops.
Having received a number of awards, Scott is incredibly honored to be a recipient of the Chicago Hellfire Club's Caligula award.
