Crucible Con’s meetups and skill shares are your chance to gather in community with others who share your specific passions, identities, or kinks. These informal meet-ups are woven throughout the weekend and offer space to connect, talk, and collaborate in a more intimate setting.
BIPOC Social hosted by Monique and Big Black Michael
Join us Saturday afternoon to meet, celebrate and discuss issues relevant to the BIPOC experience in the kink world. This event is not exclusive and is open to partners and allies of the POC community.
Clown Skill Share hosted by Trader
Do you enjoy the sensation of makeup covering your face? Do you giggle at the thought of a honking nose? Does the squeak of balloon animals being twisted together get your blood pumping? If so, join us for a funtastic clown social and skill share! Come share your best tricks, learn some new ones, or just clown around a bit. All clown enthusiasts, the clown-curious, and friends of all experience levels are welcome.
Foot Loves Skill Share with Trader
Calling all foot lovers, shoe enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates quality foot play! Join us for a casual gathering dedicated to sharing ideas, demonstrations, and discussion centered around our favorite scenes and all things feet. Whether you’re looking to showcase your favorite foot-focused skills, learn something new, exchange techniques, or simply enjoy some foot play in a welcoming environment, there’s a place for you here. Foot lovers, shoe aficionados, and the foot-curious of all experience levels, identities, and orientations are warmly invited to attend. We look forward to connecting, learning, and celebrating our shared interests together.
Kidz Mixer & "Grown-Up" Storytime hosted by ElleJay
Drop in for a fun mixer designed for littles, middles, caregivers, and other ageplay-friendly folks! Meet new friends, reconnect with familiar faces, enjoy a fun activity, and treat yourself to a yummy beverage and snacks. We’ll wrap things up with 30 minutes of picture storybook reading featuring humor and themes that even (especially) adults will appreciate! Come as you are, or bring your favorite jammies and/or stuffie—we’d love to see you there!
Latex Lovers Social hosted by Shutter Doll
Calling all the latex lovers, rubber enthusiasts, and admirers of shiny outfits! Come gather with your fellow fashionable fetishists, or those curious, to show off your favorite pieces, help shine up, swap wear and care tips, and make new friends. This is also open to anyone curious about latex even if they do not currently have any gear.
The Lifestyle Lounge hosted by Heart
Looking for your people? They’re probably here. Swingers. Lifestylers. Polyamorous folks. Relationship anarchists. ENM practitioners. That couple you’ve definitely seen at every event. The person whose Google Calendar has color-coded partners. You know who you are. Join Heart for a casual meetup designed for connection, conversation, and community. Whether you’re flying solo, partnered, quad-podded, or your relationship status requires a flowchart, this is a space to meet others who understand that relationships don’t always fit in a neat little box. Swap stories, share experiences, compare communication strategies, make new friends, reconnect with familiar faces, and enjoy spending time with people who speak your language. You might leave with a new brunch crew, convention buddy, travel companion, or something a little more exciting. Flirting is welcome. Respect is mandatory. Chemistry is optional but encouraged. Bring your charm. Bring your best “so how did you all meet?” story. Because sometimes the hottest thing at a convention is finding your people.
Neurodivergent Social hosted by The Frogs
Whatever your flavor of neurospicy, you are welcome here! This mixer is a place where you can mingle without masking.
Photography Discussion hosted by ShutterDoll
Has your f-stop been leaving you with f-ed up photos? Trying to figure out how to make your scene shoots capture your spark? Discuss shooting tips and tricks with fellow kinky photographers at this event. Please note, while you can bring cameras for gear discussion, this is not a photoshoot and we will not be taking pictures.
Queer Pre-party Social hosted by Alixzander
Before the night gets going, come say hi. This is the low-key, casual corner of the weekend where you can meet folks you’ve been seeing around all con. Find your people, make a new friend or three, and get the lay of the land before things heat up later. No pressure, no agenda—just good company and easy conversation. Roll through, mingle, and warm up to the party!
