The Lair is a celebration of the BDSM lifestyle organized by Mistress Cyan
of Sanctuary, sponsor of DomCon. A dungeon situated inside the larger AEE,
it offers a safe playground for both newbies and experienced players, as well as
many exhibits featuring BDSM gear and fetish products.
With an emphasis on education and interactive experiences, The Lair will
bring to life the many aspects of the fetish and BDSM communities, with help
from the biggest names and companies in the world. The Lair also affords
companies an opportunity to sell their BDSM-specific accessories, toys and
novelties directly to consumers. (For information on some of these exhibitors,
see the story about the recent DomConLA on page 54.)
Even pleasure product companies that do not opt to exhibit at ANE can
still participate in the show and get exposure for their brands. Companies
who cannot send a team to work a booth can still get brochures and
product samples into the hands of buyers. And companies can also obtain
event sponsorships. Last year’s ANE Bash was sponsored by Joydivision,
Sportsheets, Fun Toys and Boobzie, and guests at the party got to examine
product samples in a pleasant social setting.
