I search for cuddle related things sometimes, and I stumbled across this:
Cuddlexpo: Professional Cuddler Conference (home page)
It's on at the end of September 2018. The organizer turned out to be Fei Wyatt ( @HugsFromFei -- along with @LisaMeece) so it should be good! There is also a free online conference this Friday, March 9th (3-8 pm CST).
Time: Fri, Sep 28, 3:00 pm - Sun, Sep 30, 5:00 pm (schedule).
Location: Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare Hotel, Rosemont, IL.
Cost: $125 early bird registration ($250 VIP), or $60 for just the three "cuddle events" (see below), or $25 for a single cuddle event. (Plus fees).
There is also a call for speakers, who get a complimentary ticket.
From talking to Fei:
The three cuddle events are suitable for people not involved in the rest of the conference. They are group events with facilitated interaction at the beginning (some icebreakers/guidelines/a few exercises to practice consent & communication), and lots of free time to cuddle each other after afterward. There will be a Cuddle Sanctuary, a Cuddle Party, and a snuggle party lead by different facilitators (so people get to try out the different styles).
The keynote and pre-con workshop speakers are still being finalized, but one will be Marcia Baczynski, co-founder of Cuddle Party. She will also be leading the Saturday night cuddle event. Her pre-con workshop will be a 3-hour marketing workshop on something like "How to get Cuddle Clients without Selling Your Soul".
A "breakout session" is a 70 minute workshop, presentation or discussion. While the 2 keynote presentations will happen at the start of the day, held with everyone gathered in the ballroom, there will be 3 different breakout sessions happening at a time (mostly in smaller meeting rooms). The goal is to have a variety of workshops and discussions around the skills of cuddling, business, ethics, personal growth for practitioners, perspective from clients, facilitating workshops, consent, etc.
