Whether you are a seasoned attendee or a newcomer, you will find valuable information and engaging discussions that will enhance your experience. In this post, we will introduce you to our presenters, highlight their expertise, and give you a glimpse of what to expect from their classes.
Gloryus has been in the BDSM lifestyle for over two decades and is an avid cane enthusiast. She is the creator and co-owner of Calamity Canes which she has developed over the years and still enjoys experimenting with.
Her love of the Spanking culture keeps her engaged and eager to expand her knowledge. She is the dis-andproud Mama of a very precocious "13 year old", with a very loose and flowing roleplay model, they enjoy spontaneous scolding together.
Gloryus is a national presenter and has had the honor of doing so at The Arizona Power EXchange, Desert Dominion, Leather Fiesta in New Mexico, and various groups in the Phoenix Valley, and the ever growing Spanko Con in 2025. She is the current Education Foundation Presenter Outreach and has enjoyed over 17 years of service to the local community wearing a multitude of 'hats'.
Gloryus is presenting her incredibly unique form of caning, called Freeform Caning, this weekend.
Abby is a writer and dedicated archivist of the obscure whose passion for literature dives deep into folklore, fairy tales, and the hidden histories of 19th and 20th-century clandestine publishing. Her writing journey has long intertwined with her personal one; in fact, LRS, aka Little Red Spanking, the implement company she helped found with her husband Spencer, takes its name from The Little Red Schoolhouse, a blog she created as a 2007 wedding gift for him to chronicle her experiences and explore her deepest thoughts and feelings about spanking. Today, she brings that same introspective dedication to their shared business. When she isn't untangling the lost threads of underground literature, Abby can usually be found lifting heavy weights at the gym, divining fresh insights from her extensive Tarot collection, or enjoying a quiet moment with Spencer and their senior canine gentleman, Watson.
Miss Chris is a switchy demi-poly edge player, Professional Disciplinarian, certified life coach, webmaster, toymaker, and internationally respected BDSM educator whose career has stitched together scholarship, spectacle, and subculture with rare finesse. In February 2009, she founded the Sun Valley Spankos, now known as @SpankUniversity, a pioneering organization that fused the educational rigor of the BDSM community with the spirited social culture of the spanking world. Since then, she has presented and taught across the globe, including appearances in Italy, Canada, Ireland, and Spain, earning a reputation for equal parts intellect, authority, and theatrical sparkle.
Beyond the dungeon doors, Miss Chris has brought fetish education into mainstream and academic spaces alike. Her workshops and lectures have appeared at events ranging from Darkcon to the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT), as well as Mensa conferences, where she explored the psychology, sociology, and therapeutic dimensions of consensual power exchange. Before the pandemic, she also appeared on the television program The Doctors, helping introduce broader audiences to conversations surrounding “spank therapy” and BDSM-informed wellness practices. Throughout her career, she has remained committed to advancing the public understanding of consensual kink and contributing thoughtfully to the evolving science of BDSM.
Her contributions to the professional lifestyle have been recognized repeatedly, including being named DomCon’s Special Guest of Honor three times, a distinction reserved for figures who have left lasting fingerprints on the industry. In May 2026, she is set to be inducted into the Pro Dom Hall of Fame. Closer to home, Miss Chris is a graduate of Butchmann’s Academy and currently serves as a board member of the Arizona Power Exchange in Phoenix, where her influence continues to ripple through the leather and BDSM community like the crack of a perfectly aimed paddle: sharp, memorable, and impossible to ignore.
Spencer is a lifelong spanko whose passion for flagellation covers everything from international implements to vintage smut to “cinematic” appreciation. As the proprietor of LRS, he is dedicated to creating beautiful, handcrafted paddles and straps for all members of the adult spanking and impact play communities. Outside of the workshop, he’s an avid guitarist and guitar collector who delights in sound experiments with his pedal board. He built a successful career in instrument sales at institutions like Pro Guitar Shop and Fender Musical Instruments, but in 2018, he traded high-pressure quotas for high-quality hardwoods to focus on implement creation. He officially launched LRS at the beginning of 2020 and has been shipping spanking toys around the world ever since. When he isn't making implements or music, he’s expanding his museum-worthy library of spanking fiction and reference materials with Abby, his partner of twenty-plus years in all things, spanking and otherwise.
Theo (AZTRUNK) who is married to Kelsey (KelseyLynnOTK) for 37 years. Theo has been exploring and continually learning about being a Spanko and BDSM (top leaning switch) along with the many variations of paddles, straps & belts that are used during scening. In vanilla world a retired Engineer & Physicist applies this knowledge into his learning and developing creative implements along with how to use them. Theo has been teaching paddle/strap making classes along with vending nationally for the last two years. Theo enjoys sharing his unique style of play along with collaborating with others.
Kelsey (KelseyLynnOTK) realized three years ago, she is a spanko. Having been fascinated by spankings her whole life (Yep, she used to look the word up in the dictionary all the time ) she never knew it was something other people were also fascinated with. When she and her husband found Miss Chris that was the beginning of the end. Pun intended.
Kelsey is an age player. She identifies as a 13-year-old sassy teenager. Not a brat. For reals!!!!
Since entering the scene, Kelsey has been peeling the onion on this kink of hers and has realized that words play a huge part in her scenes. Kelsey is a role player. Everything scene she ever does she has to have some kind of a scene in her mind in order to get her into the headspace to help her enjoy a scene.
Kelsey has explored the many aspects of impact play. She’s explored BDSM impact and of course spankings. She’s learned a lot from exploring the different
Pet Emily is the gleefully collared slave of Chaotic Kat, a queer-as-a-three-dollar-bill trans/NB woman, and an irrepressibly enthusiastic little-pet-pony-puppy-spanko-bootblack-Leather-girl-thingy with a deep love of service and a passion for sharing the things that bring her joy. As an indie scholar, her developing academic research focuses on the complex relationships between kink subcultures and transgender identities. As an educator, she’s hosted classes and workshops at events throughout the US on topics ranging from caning to implement care to basic bootblacking. She regularly crews the Impact Play exploratorium station at the Crucible’s monthly Dungeon 101 in DC, and spends a great deal of time teaching and extolling the myriad virtues of a well-informed mind, a well-maintained implement, and a well-whacked backside.
The Importance of Spanko & Spanko Adjacent Educators
Having knowledgeable presenters is crucial for any conference. They not only provide valuable insights but also inspire attendees to engage with the material. At SpankoCon 2026, our presenters come from diverse backgrounds, bringing unique perspectives and expertise to the table. Here are a few reasons why their participation is essential:
Diverse Expertise: Each presenter has a unique area of specialization, ensuring a wide range of topics are covered.
Engaging Discussions: Knowledgeable presenters can facilitate discussions that encourage participation and interaction among attendees.
Networking Opportunities: Attendees can connect with presenters, fostering relationships that extend beyond the conference.
Most of our presenters are spankos! The rest are heavily involved with the spanking community, though they might reside a little more on the BDSM side of things. Who knows the spanking scene more than those who reside in it, who live and breathe it? SpankoCon presenters know their stuff, plain and simple.
Conclusion
SpankoCon 2026 promises to be an enriching experience filled with expert insights, engaging discussions, and valuable networking opportunities. Our presenters are eager to share their knowledge and help attendees grow in their understanding of various topics.
