"THE QUEST: JOURNEY INTO THE ELEMENTAL"
JANUARY 11-13, 2008 IN PHOENIX, AZ

In the year 2000, a new idea was born. To create an event that celebrates and explores BDSM & Leather Relationships, SM and Spirituality. To gather, under one roof, people of all genders and orientations, from Leather & BDSM communities all over North America. A space to celebrate and explore the similarities and differences of our various BDSM and Leather related lifestyles and cultures. An event that offers opportunities for singles, couples, families and friends a deep, meaningful and creative experience of Leather and BDSM.

THIS YEAR'S THEME: THE QUEST
What is a quest? A call to adventure. A journey towards a goal. A seeking or pursuing of something important. A time of initiation and transformation. An encounter with the self and others. As each of us embarks on our individual quests, we find common threads that bind us all together, with our paths ultimately crossing at Southwest Leather Conference.
