GWNN BASH 2026 was Group With No Name Austin's annual kink convention, themed BASH and Beyond: A BDSM Space Odyssey. Official vendor, presenter, and Sched copy put the weekend on June 18-21, 2026 at Holiday Inn Midtown Austin. The live Sched page now reads that BASH 2026 has ended. 2027 dates are not posted yet.
Official 2026 copy promised more than 150 guest rooms, 20-plus breakout rooms, and a large dungeon run with Team Dungeon. Classes covered BDSM basics, advanced technique, self-care, mental health in kink, and relationship dynamics. The published presenter roster included Master Lola Smiles as keynote, plus leather, primal, legal, and education teams. Vendors included leather impact, electro, corsetry, pet play, and handmade gear. There was a silent auction next to registration.
Host hotel was Holiday Inn Midtown Austin, next to I-35 and about eight minutes from Texas Memorial Stadium. Group code GWN, rate code GSF. Room-block cutoff was Friday, May 29, 2026. Official updates said this was not a full hotel buyout. They worked with the hotel on date timing and space segmentation so attendees were not mixed as tightly with other hotel guests. Free parking is listed on the hotel page.
VIP meals were advertised as labeled and gluten-free friendly after 2025 feedback. Social spaces were a 2026 focus after people asked for more places to connect. Volunteer, presenter, and vendor applications on the site were for 2026 and are closed. Official site: https://gwnnbash.com/ Schedule archive: https://bash2026.sched.com/
