RISE POWER SUMMIT
July 31 - Aug 2, 2026
“Legends, Luminaries, & Rising Stars”
Marina Village Conference Center, San Diego, California
RISE! is a power-focused Mini Con unlike any other — a 3 day conversation, connection, education, and celebration designed to explore the many faces of power within our BDSM, kink, and power exchange communities.
From the legacies of iconic Femdom luminaries to the rising stars forging new paths, this gathering is both a bridge and a beacon: honoring where we've come from while boldly carrying power forward.
Here, we will unpack power in all its beautiful complexity:
Submissive Power & Service Authority
Femdom Leadership & Female-Led Legacy
Power Exchange as Art, History, and Practice
Soft Power, Hard Power, and the Currency of Influence
Unity as Power: Building Together, Not Competing Apart
We invite all genders, bodies, and identities, on either side of the slash, who wish to honor, explore, and uplift female-led power spaces. This is not a space for gatekeeping — but one for apprenticeship, alliance, and amplification.
WHAT TO EXPECT
RARE speaker panels with iconic legends.
ILLUMINATING conversation with the RISE Luminaries seated at each table.
EMPOWERING break out session for both sides of the slash.
NOURISHING food provided throughout the day at our gorgeous waterside venue.
PAGEANTRY at it’s finest during our evening celebration “MASQUERADE”
ONE-OF-A-KIND Large-scale High Protocol meal service where we lean into the elegance of D/s.

WHO IS RISE! MINI-CON FOR?

This is not a space for gatekeeping — but one for apprenticeship, alliance, and amplification.
Who is welcome?
Everyone.
RISE! A Concept Expanded
This event was originally designed to celebrate and convene the FemDom community. Much like with any piece of art in the making, the vision can shift along the way. RISE has shifted this year…
With the speakers and community leaders coming from around the country, and beyond, we choose to open our doors to all, it is the right thing to do…
RISE is a space where all voices matter…
We are each a light in this community in our own way. In choosing to come together at RISE we allow space to be a true constellation where each light is an essential part of the whole… there is room for all at RISE.
Once-in-a-Life Opportunity
The influential elders and legends that are coming together for RISE makes this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear our history, connect in the present, and strengthen together as a community.
This year the event begins with a deep dive into the concept of submission as the beginning to a weekend exploring power… with the goal of creating strength in all as well navigate these uncertain times in the world.
Important note:
It is important to note that it is a Female-led event. The leadership team and all primary roles are held by femme identifying humans. We will speak of the feminine leadership model and showcase how FemDom history has been influential in the BDSM and kink scene.
D-types will be seated in the center tables and s-types surrounding us close-by. There is a high protocol meal service, serving is optional.
We ask switches to select the side of the slash they will explore for the entire event.
Limited seating
Contact us for details.
RISE Mini-Con is a rare gathering to honor, celebrate our craft…

All voices matter, together is how we build our beautiful dynamics
and grow an ever-thriving community.
