Wicked In The West
An annual event for the BDSM, Leather & Fetish communities.
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Unfortunately, there will not be a Wicked in the West 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. See message from the producers below.
From the Producers:
As you know, we did not put tickets on sale on May 1st as originally planned, in order to have a better idea of how things were going to look like come October.
Sadly, we honestly don't see any way that we're going to be hold Wicked this year. There are just too many unknown variables. Will we even have the ability to have a 250 person event? Many of our presenters are coming from the states, will the border even be open for travel? How do we deal with social distancing requirements? Will people even have the disposable income? Those are only a few of the many questions we don't have an answer for.
On the positive side, pretty much all of our scheduled presenters for this year have already committed to being here next year. Our new location is understanding and onboard with postponing our event for a year. We plan to keep our format similar, and the two contests will continue.
For us, our Wicked family is just that... family. We want to stay in touch, and if you have any questions, please feel free to drop us a line. We appreciate your support, as well as the support given to our titleholders, who have had a very untypical title year, and we are proud of how they have adjusted.
There are a few details we have to iron out, and we will keep you up to date on those as we do.
Someone recently asked us about whether we would consider doing a virtual event. While it is a useful tool for learning, we honestly don't feel it would have the ability to replicate some of the other things we do at Wicked. We are thinking about arranging some sort of virtual social so folks can reconnect, details to follow.
These are strange times indeed, however, it's important to remember that we can get through this, and supporting each other is vital. Stay safe out there friends, and we look forward to seeing you all again soon!
With love,
Nelson & Imp
PS - Put October 8th, 9th and 10th, 2021 on your calendar now for Wicked in the West #5 - (finally) Fearless

Over 25 different workshops, on a variety of subjects, with presenters from across North America.
WCPE is an educational title, our competitors are judged on their ability to educate others on their personal power dynamic. Our titleholders go on to represent Western Canada at the International Power Exchange Competition which is held in Florida in May.
A yearly competition held at Wicked, including multiple categories.
"Wicked feels like the best kind of family reunion."
Wicked in the West is a SAFER space, where folks can meet and make lifetime friends. It is a gathering of communities coming together, to be one community, and making profound connections with one another.
General Information
- 2020 will be the fifth year for Wicked in the West.

What People Have Said About Wicked in the West
Here are some quotes from past Wicked in the West attendees:
It has taken on a life of its own in meaning, to attendees, and its power to transform and impact lives, and a special place in my heart, and in the hearts of many others.

Bring yourself. Your true self. Or at least, leave your walls at home. You'll find your true self waiting for you with our family once you get here. <3

This weekend has changed me in so many ways, and I am so excited to see where my journey is going to lead with all this new stuff in my brain and new friends/family around.
