1 ) Your attendance and involvement helped us earn almost $3,000! For the first time, Sex 2.0 has made a profit to donate, and we are delighted to give $2,000 to NW SWOP (the Northwest chapter of the Sex Workers Outreach Project), and the remaining ~$1,000 to the Foundation for Sex Positive Culture, two worthy, sex positive nonprofits.

2 ) I will create a survey and email all attendees asking for feedback about the event, so please keep an eye out. Your input is very valuable for the future of Sex 2.0.

3 ) During the conference, Allena and I led a discussion about the future of Sex 2.0. This was only the beginning of the conversation. I will post a summary in the google group, and encourage you all to join in.

I would also like to thank everyone who helped make this event possible.

I greatly appreciate the support and generosity of the event producer, the Foundation for Sex Positive Culture; gold sponsors, Fascinations and Love U Parties; silver sponsor, Castle; bronze sponsors, the Sharma Center and the Little Red Studio; and donors, Babeland, Stockroom and Wild at Heart. I encourage you to support these fine businesses.

I would like to thank our vendors, Love U Parties, Castle, Gifted Products and the G-Spout.

I would like to thank all volunteers who helped make Sex 2.0 come to life. The conference is a grassroots event, and this couldn’t have happened without all of you.

And last but not least, I would like to thank the session leaders for their valuable insight on a great variety of topics.
