Florida E-Fest 2018

I am one of the planners of the annual Florida E-Fest event. With the size of the event decreasing steadily over the years, we're wondering what we need to do to boost attendance for next years event.

So I'm asking the enema lovers here it Zity, what is it that we need to do to get you to attend.

When I came to this year's event last weekend, it seemed like it might be the last one after 14 years straight, but the desire to have this event is still there, so we want to do everything we can to make it the best ever.

Obviously at an E-Fest you get to see some amazing demos and have a high likely hood of private play happening, but the real magic of this event is being a room w that many people where enemas can be discussed openly and freely, with no chance of embarrassment.

That's very liberating.

So I welcome your suggestions and hope to see you in Florida next Fall.

I've got 17 E-Fests under the belt ( or in the belly, as the case may be ) and each one has been a not to miss event.

I hope I can convince you to join the family, at the annual Beth Tyler family reunion

Come back Philly

Come back to Philadelphia or Edison,NJ which would attract the NY crowd as well.

Both are close to Airports [Philadelphia and Newark]

How about giving us a summary of what transpired at this years E-fest....the more detail the better.

Just a matter about practical logistics, Florida in the Fall is hurricane season, and this year has been particularly busy with one storm after another. This may make people wary of making plans to attend next year, both out of concern for safety, as well as concern that it may have to be cancelled due to weather.

Perhaps, a different time of year, or a different location would make some difference?

Maybe provide more information on what to expect and all that, maybe when people know what they are signing up for, there will be more willing enemaniacs coming. also, if the location was somewhere towards the central US, it would help with traveling. Even some Canadians would come over I think.

Thank you to those who have replied already. Without addressing issues mentioned by each person by name, I try to answer several in this one post.

As far as when and hurricane season, it's only been the last few years that it's been in Oct. We are thinking about changing it back to November for the 2018 one.

So why Florida, as opposed to Philadelphia, or some where else in the USA. #1 because its worked here for 14 years in a row, but #2 and mainly, just like Last Vegas, when you tell someone you're going there, they never ask why your going there. Florida is a vacation Mecca where there are many bargain flights to, and the Fest blends into the crowd of tourists.

(Besides, I live in Florida now lol )

Part of the problems of this event on the past years has been finding the right way to get the word out to potentially interested people. Suggestions in that area would really be appreciated

As far as the comment as tell people more about what to expect, that's really difficult because every one of these E-Fest events is a little different.

Example. At the E-Fest this past weekend, I saw a demo that was simply amazing.

A sub was given a 5 quart soapy enema and was required to hold it while 2 Dom ladies worked him over with every spanking tool imaginable. They tried to get him to flinch or say no more but they were unsuccessful and after and hour and a half, gave up, exhausted.

Did I know this was going to happen at this year's E-Fest ? No. Could I possibly tell you it was going to happen at next year's E-Fest ?

You can't promise and not deliver. That gets you in trouble, quickly. But what I can tell you is, when you put together a group of people that are dedicated enough to their fetish to travel and stay for it, stuff WILL happen.

And to be at a party where the topic of discussion is enemas, is very spiritually freeing

What about a fetlfe group/event? there are some enema themed groups there.

Maybe if more information about the dates and location on this site may help. I am a regular on this site and live in Florida but saw nothing about this year's event. Maybe it was listed and I didn't see it.

I now live Sarasota which is easy driving distance to Tampa and possibly might have figured out a way to go to some of the events. I too was unaware of this year's EFest. I would think the organizers would have posted threads here on this site or at least members of zity making folks aware.

I went to one Efest in '09 when it was in the SF Bay area. It was part of a local BDSM group and thought that diluted the event somewhat.

Personally an event in the Northeast is easiest for me because I can drive to it. So I vote Philly. But you're right about flights to Tampa.

Also did the 2017 happen already? Usually it's in November, right? Or did you skip it to focus on 2018?

@Zipster2004 yes the 2017 was this past weekend. Several years ago, a small group within the group got it changed to Oct for various reasons ( none of them really valid ).

If there's a 2018 one, it's going to be back in November

Cmon people we have got to keep this going. I forgot all about it and the hurricane did not help. This is our chance to meet some of our online friends and have a socially good time.I would like all of you guys that have asked for enemas who are physically able to go to fla. give this some serious thought.

Steve: The Florida E-fest is certainly on my bucket list of things to do. I'm in JAX and just need to be able to schedule attendance some time!

Just want to throw my support behind Efest. I went in 2007 with my girlfriend at the time and we really enjoyed it. We were nervous but everyone was really friendly and welcoming. It was nice to see all these 'regular' people who were really perverts... like us! LOL

It was a good mix of couples and singles, and professional nurses were there if that was your thing. It wasn't an all out orgy of people doing enemas, but people probably found some others for play times if they wanted.

I hope to get back some day. If you are on the fence, give it a try!

I would consider attending. Like some here, I didn't see any information on this site (which is mainly where I look for all things enema). Doesn't mean it wasn't here but maybe a banner or something with a link to details. Having not attended in the past, maybe some blogs about people's experience with a disclaimer that every year is different. Would be helpful to have some idea of how things proceed - I bet many newbies would appreciate that as well. Just my $0.02, and no criticism intended; I appreciate that you arrange it, that's never an easy thing and you can never please everyone.

Actually I made a few posts about this years Efest on zity but I tried to keep them in the places set aside for those kinds of discussions. I drove over from Tx this year and had a blast as always. Hopefully more FL folk can attend the one next year.

Live in SoCal; 2018 would be my first eFest I attend.

Florida is a haul from the west coast, plus as people have noted deep in hurricane season this time of year. Maybe move it to early or mid March to avoid the spring break airline rush?

Casting a vote for Vegas or maybe a city more in the middle of the country to attract people from all over.

And advertise here and in other kink places like fetlife, meetup, etc.

I, too, would consider attending, but saw nothing promoting it. I would like nothing better than to show off my capacity. I think I would amaze a lot of people.

Come back to the Philadelphia area. I attended both of the Tyler Family Reunions in Philly from years past. And, then there was the after party at John and Mai's home in the suburbs. Lots of people came to both events. Yes, close enough to New York that many enema devotees from there also attended. As I remember we also had people from Canada, and as far west as California and Nevada. By all means, schedule the 2018 event in or around Philadelphia.

I think Vegas would be a good idea. Lots of inexpensive flights from everywhere to there. That would increase attendance, too, I would think. I'd also consider promoting it now.

Maybe set-up a webpage for "www.efestevents.com" or "www.efestevents.org" and promote that so people start having a place to go to and check up on it regularly. It would also allow you to network with other efest events.

I'm in California so trekking to Florida is a stretch both in expense and distance. Vegas, on the other hand, would be far less expensive.

Just my two cents.

Actually there is a webpage www.floridaefest.org for announcements and the like.

I would be interested in going. I thought they had ended. Maybe a solution is to send a direct message to all users on this site?

I would love to go but fear for my privacy or identity.

While IAM remarkably fit, travel frequently and still practice my profession I fear that at 82 nobody would be interested in me.?

I'm for one in Vegas. Cheap flights in and often less expensive hotel rooms and other perqs.

If given a choice I think Las Vegas would be the ideal place for a National E-Fest. Flights are constant and cheap, rooms are reasonable and the night life is something to behold. My fear is that if I attended and my age being 75 I would be an "old fossil" and no one my age would be there!

In this century " fossils " have a high value you know.

I agree with taking it to Vegas. So easy to fly there and plenty of other things to do as well. I'd go for sure.

The problem with having so much else to do in Las Vegas is that you may not spend the time at the E-FEST.

I have been cleaned out many times in Las Vegas but never with an enema. I would like to give the enema a chance.
