Panels, Caucuses, and Meet-and-Greets

BurlyCon Panels are moderated conversations featuring invited guests from across burlesque. Panelists share their experiences, insights, and ideas around a specific topic or issue in the community. If time allows, panels may also include a Q&A session so attendees can join the discussion.

BurlyCon Caucuses are relaxed, identity-based gatherings for folks who personally identify with a specific community. Each caucus is hosted by a moderator who may guide conversation, offer prompts, or simply hold space for connection and networking. These sessions are meant for those who identify as part of the group—they’re not intended for allies or observers.

BurlyCon Meet N’ Greets are a fun, low-key way to connect with people who share your interests. Whether you’re looking to network, make new friends, or just enjoy some casual conversation, these unstructured gatherings are the perfect place to start building your BurlyCon community.
