On Feburary 11, Residence 11 had the pleasure of hosting the Desire Summit, our first in-person and virtual event, to bring together the site’s sex-positive, open-minded community with over 20 internationally renowned speakers and experts from the most influential sex-themed podcasts, TV shows, blogs, and best-selling romance and erotica books. Held at the beautiful new venue, Velvet Noir in Los Angeles, the intimate event was a full day of audience participation, free-flowing discussion, and thought-provoking conversations on some of the most stimulating, taboo, and talked about issues related to sex, relationships, pleasure, and intimacy.
The Residence 11 team would like to take a moment to extend a special thank you and applaud the companies that supported us in putting together our first-ever Residence 11 Desire Summit. These wonderful sponsors offered us some really fun swag and prizes and on top of that, they were a pleasure to work with. We look forward to the next Desire Summit, which will be held October 6-8 in Brooklyn, New York. In no particular order here goes:
