Over the years I have attended a number of FemDom events and had really lost My taste for them. The posturing, the egos, the elaborate costuming . . . after a while it lost its appeal. But when I heard Mistress Ezada Sinn was hosting a summit specifically for collaboration and networking for Professional Dominatrices, and it was just down the road in Bucharest, I had to attend.
Thoughts:
- Because the event focused on networking, it made the attendance manageable (compared to typical conventions). This kept things from becoming cliquish and enabled everyone to get to know each other. At most big events you end up running with the same crew you came with, or people you already know, sticking with the comfort of what is familiar. I saw people purposefully choose to sit with groups they did not know, just for the experience.
- There were “Women only” segments, which I enjoyed the most. Without you pesky subs under foot, We Ladies had some real opportunities to chat and collaborate without interruptions and were able to speak freely about the business of domination. We were still served well – the Ladies of the House of Sinn had boys standing in the wings to run and fetch when needed.
- The pacing was perfect. At most big events I end up missing things I want to do: One thing goes late into the night (or I just played late into the night) and then I miss something at 10am that I really wanted to see or participate in. That was not an issue at the summit. I even had time to slip in some spa time.
- The people were fabulous. It started with our Host, Ezada Sinn. Ezada is such a real and genuine person that she put everyone at ease and made newer Dommes, as well as seasoned Pros, feel at home and respected. That can be a hard thing to do, especially as a well known personality. By putting everyone at ease, it made it easier for everyone to approach everyone else, ask questions that you might not otherwise ask and make real connections.
I appreciate how much planning and behind the scenes work goes into making an event successful. I told one of My subs that I looked at it like a FemDom Mansion event times 10 – so I totally respect the work that no one sees. That is where Mistress Kennya came in. Mistress Ezada may have been the face of the event, but Mistress Kennya was the primary organizer. In My experience, organizing a FemDom event is akin to herding cats, so My hat is both of these Ladies for putting together an event that everyone wants to see repeated next year.
Would I attend again next year? Absolutely. My only fear is that so will everyone else! I have told many of My colleagues about it and I want the summit to be successful going forward, but it would be nice if the same small group closeness can be accomplished with a bigger crowd. If anyone can pull it off I am sure these Ladies can.
