Every year, BurlyCon produces a convention program that is more than a schedule. It's a keepsake.
Advertise with BurlyCon and place your brand inside a bold, tabloid-style program that travels everywhere our attendees go. Throughout the weekend, our printed program moves through classrooms, lounges, hotel hallways, vendor spaces, restaurants, and meetups.
As a result, it becomes more than a schedule. It becomes a companion.
Attendees dog-ear pages, circle classes, highlight notes, and tuck it into their bags long after the final curtain call. In fact, it often lives on coffee tables. It gets archived. Over time, it becomes part of burlesque history.
And now, it can feature you.
Why Advertise in the BurlyCon Program?
The BurlyCon program reaches an engaged audience of performers, producers, costumers, educators, students, and dedicated fans of the art form. These are artists investing in their professional growth. They are actively seeking:
- Costumes and accessories
- Makeup and beauty brands
- Production tools and services
- Studios and performance opportunities
- Travel, wellness, and creative services
When you advertise in our program, you position your brand directly inside a learning environment built on trust, craft, and community.
Print + Digital Reach
In addition to the physical tabloid program distributed throughout the convention weekend, BurlyCon also makes a digital version available to attendees. That means your advertisement reaches both in-person participants and those engaging virtually or revisiting the content after the event.
Your brand doesn’t just appear once; it remains accessible beyond the weekend.
A Program That Feels Like the Community
Our program reflects the spirit of BurlyCon: bold, thoughtful, and rooted in education. Advertising within it aligns your business with:
- Over fourteen years of burlesque education

This isn’t just placement. It’s participation.
