South Plains Leatherfest's Commitment to Accessibility

Here at South Plains, we believe that accessibility matters. This commitment touches all areas of our event from our website, to our selection of venue, to the planning of our educational track, to the design of our event spaces, to the fine print in the contest rules. If you have any questions or would like to discuss accessibility needs for this year's event, please use the CONTACT US form on the South Plains Leatherfest website to engage with us. We will listen, respond in a timely manner, and work to create change together.

Accessible Spaces

South Plains Leatherfest is committed to ensuring that all attendees can navigate the event with success, ease and comfort. With that in mind, the hotel was chosen in large part for the openness and accessibility it provides for our full community, including attendees who use wheelchairs and scooters.

ASL Interpreters

SPLF works diligently to provide American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters in a way that allows both access to and flexibility with interpreters throughout the weekend. Our program provides interpretation at every Ballroom stage event, and offers attendees “personal service” interpreters to be scheduled for the times and event components where they can be of greatest benefit. Help SPLF continue to provide this innovative program by making a donation to our ASL Fund.

Gender Neutral Bathrooms

Gender Neutral Bathrooms can be found at the following locations, and are marked with signs designating "with urinals" and "without urinals" for your convenience:
- 1st Floor Texas Ballroom Hallway (near vending)
- 2nd Floor (near classrooms)
- The Sanctuary Quiet Space (#1004 10th Floor)
- Hospitality Suite (17th floor)

Volunteer Discounts

No event can run without a crew of volunteers and we believe in compensating volunteers generously for their time and efforts. South Plains Leatherfest is proud to offer multiple levels of compensation based on the number of hours you choose to contribute, up to an 80% discount on a weekend package! All the details can be found here.

Rideshare Support

Folx will be traveling from all over to attend South Plains Leatherfest, and one of the ways we can support you in saving a bit of money is by providing a forum to help interested attendees to coordinate rideshares (and obviously discuss car snacks and playlists). We've started a FetLife Rideshare thread for exactly this purpose.

Hotel Roomshare Support

Part of the adventure of conferences can be the silly, serious and sexy times you might have with your event roomies! We've created a FetLife Roomshare thread to help connect anyone who needs a room or has a room to share.

Emotional Support

To help create a safe space and offer emotional support during the weekend, SPLF in collaboration with our Sponsor Realistic Expectations, will provide on-call Queer Kink Aware Therapists all weekend. The contact information and schedule will be posted in the Sanctuary Quiet Room, #1004 (realisticexpectations.net).

Morning Centering

Affinity Spaces

We love moments when everyone at the event can come together, and also honor the need for affinity-specific spaces for many of the communities that attend SPLF.

Play Spaces

In addition to the huge ballroom dungeon open to all attendees, we've created additional dungeons spaces centering specific affinity groups. Play where you feel safest and sexiest!
