Nope, they’re two different beasts. SX Festival (May 5th) is a cosmic convergence of sex-positive souls, content creators, sex workers, and fabulous communities. It’s your playground to explore, learn, and discover amazing talks, dive into a market of goodies, and mingle with your favorite creators on stage and beyond.
SX Tech Conference (May 6th), on the other hand, is a pro-centric shindig.

Hi I’m Zozo, a content creator and cam girl. I love the freedom and confidence that content creation has given me. I hope to keep climbing in this industry & would love to own my own play space or dungeon one day.
For many years I’ve been the only woman in rooms full of men. As a fashion model or when studying computer science, working on AI projects at Frauenhofer and the future of media at Axel Springer.
It taught me a valuable lesson: To drive change, you have to lead by example.
That’s why I’ve founded my own startup right after graduating.
One scholarship and a few government grants later I’ve beaten the odds and raised six-digit pre-seed funding. Leading by example and driving the change as a first time female-founder.
Nowadays I find myself again in rooms full of men AND beautiful, strong and independent women of the adult industry. The only industry that pays them better than men.
I was a fashion model. I am a computer nerd. I am working in adult. I’ve successfully raised money from investors. Oh, how I just love to fight these stereotypes, break those taboos and beat those odds!
