Come for the weekend. Leave with stories for life. ✨
BurlyCon is where moments turn into memories, and memories turn into the stories you carry with you long after the lights go down.
November 5–8 in Seattle.
Your seat is waiting.
Register now and be part of it. 🎟️
Every artist has a moment that changed the way they saw themselves. For many of us, BurlyCon has been part of that story.
It’s the stories we tell, the choices we make, and the ways we show up for each other that build community. And it extends beyond a single weekend.
We’re gathering community reflections for our “What BurlyCon Means to Me.” blog series. If you’d like to share a moment, a connection, or a shift in your artistry that happened at BurlyCon, we would love to hear and share it!
