Leather Leadership Conference 2027 is Leading With Hope. It runs February 26-28, 2027 at the DoubleTree by Hilton, 1000 NE Multnomah St, Portland, OR 97232. LLC is a volunteer 501(c)(3) that has gathered leather, kink, and fetish leaders since 1999 for workshops, keynotes, roundtables, panels, and socials.
Leaders serving leaders. The weekend is built for people who already run community and for people on a path to that work. It is not a play-party or session marketplace. The conference city moves every few years so leaders in new regions can get there.

After that, tickets transfer through llcoperating@gmail.com until February 1. Buy tickets on Eventbrite from leatherleadership.net/2027-conference.
