August 13th - August 16th 2009
Baltimore, Maryland


Awwwww Mon! It's the rhythmic shaking allure of BB in the CariBBean ! We're stirring up Carnival style festivities for Black BEAT 09! Join us as we satiate your senses by capturing your inner sunshine. We're taking calypso to another level!

Picture savoring the flavor of warmth and beauty on this cultural journey, as we 'shake it up' in preparation of Black BEAT 09. Lucky number 7 will not be a "roll of the dice," but instead, you'll partake in the roll of swaying hips celebrating our magnificent islands during Black BEAT's 7th annual conference.

Rich majestic colors will dazzle you into a trance, as visions of palm trees and blue clear waters twinkle your imagination. We'll celebrate our many islands while also acknowledging Central America. You'll choose which island or area to represent. This is a casual weekend so all you need is shorts, tropical shirts, and sandals. Our socially and artistic kink festive begins Thursday August 13th at the Island Splash Poolside Party Fundraiser for the NCSF. Here, free tastes of the islands with authentic Caribbean Food samples will satiate your pallet. Tickets will be available to purchase exotic and non alcoholic beverages to quench your thirst! Top that with Caribbean music and the party will begin to sway Mon!

On Friday, we'll enhance your kink via 26 educational workshops presented by 13 of BB Islands best presenters. The West Indian culture in kink parade will precede our Friday evenings dining experience. Later, we'll cruise on down the highway in our motor coach to the Crucible where the kinky cultures wail and flail wares of artistry in the dungeon.

Saturday, we'll pick up where we left off, revisiting our educational workshops, followed by the Black BEAT Awards Luncheon, and another flirtatious and colorful night at the Crucible.

Sunday our Caribbean party will conclude with a farewell breakfast. It's time to bid your friends and family safe travel. Get your hugs and kisses after breakfast, it's then time to depart to our resident destinations.

Join us for this extraordinary vacation in paradise on Maryland's soil. Carnival is the way to celebrate LIFE! All voyeurs and exhibitionist welcome!

REGISTRATION BEGINS MARCH 1, 2009.
