But it won’t be all lectures – NLA-Houston is offering “out-of-class” activities during the weekend too. Registration starts at the hotel Friday night and continues at NLA-Houston’ s home bar, the Ripcord. The International Puppy and Trainer Conference and annual meeting will be on Friday at the hotel. On Saturday night, the Lone Star Rubber Corps hosts the annual “Den of Iniquity” at the Ripcord, and Houston PEP offers an off-site play party. The conference is also hosting a market with more than a dozen vendors offering the latest clothes, toys, and “implements of fun.” And throughout the weekend, the conference meeting space offers an open socializing area for participants to take a break, relax, and meet fellow Leatherfolk from all over the country.

The conference host hotel is the Sheraton Houston Brookhollow, located near Houston’s famous Galleria mall. The conference meeting space is located inside the hotel, for the convenience of out-of-town guests. Intercontinental Airport and Hobby Airport are both located approximately 30 minutes away, and Super Shuttle service is available from the airports to the hotel.

NLA-Houston invites everyone to come celebrate and share the leather lifestyle during this landmark event.
