Participants are expected to bring with them:
Individual courses may have other requirements, so please make sure to double check your classes.
Feel free to wear as much — or as little — as you want. Above all else, dress comfortably! For clothing, we recommend cool, breathable fabrics and/or anything that feels good to wear for extended periods of standing, sitting, kneeling, etc. (e.g., something you might wear to a yoga class). The event is located in a neighborhood so please plan for street clothes coming in and out.
Attendees are encouraged to dress in a manner consistent with their gender identity.
Yes you can take photographs, but ONLY with the consent of everyone in the photo/drawing (including the background). People will only take pics of you if want them to. Additionally, there will be two event photographers walking around the event taking pictures throughout the event.
Please see our Code of Conduct for more about consent.
This year we are offering a beginner track. The Beginner Track is a single ticket. You do not need to bring a partner. The Beginner Track is sold as a single ticket, so you can register and attend on your own.
Who will I practice with?You'll work with the same group of fellow attendees all weekend, building skills together alongside other folks who are new to rope.
Do I need prior experience?No prerequisite skills or assumed knowledge required. Whether you've tried rope before, watched from the sidelines, or are starting from zero — this track starts from the ground up.
What makes this track different?The curriculum was designed specifically for MRM by your instructor. If you've been on the fence about attending because you didn't have someone to come with — this is your chance.
This event is open to all sexual orientations and gender identities, including transgender, gender nonbinary, and gender nonconforming participants. It is also open to all skill levels, from beginner to advanced, as there will be something for everyone regardless of where you are in your rope journey. Participants must be at least 21 years of age or older at time of registration.
Please note that Men Roping Men’s core focus is on tying the male form. Therefore, all of our instructional content and skill shares will be designed with this direct emphasis in mind. If you are not male-identifying, that’s okay! We encourage you to bring a male-identifying or male-bodied partner to tie so you can get the most value from MRM’s educational offerings. Please see our Mission Statement.
Yes, the venue is wheelchair accessible. If you need other accommodations, please email us.
All activities and interactions among participants, both physical and verbal, should be precluded by explicit and enthusiastic consent to ensure the safety of all parties involved. In the context of verbal roleplay, do not address another attendee (or expect to be addressed by another attendee) as Sir, boy, Master, slave, gimp, etc. unless mutually agreed by both parties.

Men Roping Men is a group of rope tying enthusiasts who want more instruction on tying the male form. We also want to try and bring groups together into a larger roping community. Please see our Mission Statement.
Dedicated Learning Tracks Tracks are multi-session curricula that run across the full weekend, each focused on a specific topic and skill level. You'll work with the same group and the same instructors all weekend, building on each session as you go. It's a structured, immersive way to leveling up in one area.
General Sessions The open format has general sessions run simultaneously alongside the tracks — different instructors, different topics, different perspectives. You choose the path that fits how you want to spend your weekend.
Open Tying and the Unconference Regardless of which path you choose, there are 12 hours of unstructured time available to everyone over the weekend. Friday afternoon kicks things off with a full unconference — you set the agenda, pick the topics, and find your people. Saturday and Sunday each include two hours of open tying, hanging out, or presenting a mini-topic plus the party on Saturday night.
