1:00p - 5:00p     Hospitality & Games Room (Midday Session)
Each day and late night we'll have gatherings in our hospitality room. This is a great place to meet up and hang out with friends between workshops. It's also open late night to just unwind after the day's events, play games, have snacks, and talk it up with other Dimmers. A favorite conversation time for many attendees! :)

2:30p - 4:00p     Fat Sexuality
Nothing like breaking the ice! This is usually the most popular topic of conversation at bashes, so we decided to address it right away. Be prepared for a frank discussion of positions, accessories, and fat- and non-fat-specific activities.

4:30p - 6:00p     This Is How We Roll
How do you live large in a society that often seems like it isn’t designed for your needs? We’ll talk about asking for what you need in public, advocating for yourself in medical situations, and using simple tools to make your everyday life easier.

We'll officially kick off our first-ever Dimensions Bash with a karaoke party and meet and greet! Come and hang out with your fellow bash attendees in a fun, casual, inviting atmosphere where you can let loose. Sing your favorite tunes or just sing along from your seats - it's a great time for all and some of our Dimmers have some great pipes - don't miss it!

10:30p - 1:30a   Late Night Private Pool Party
It's late, we're happy and hoarse from singing, laughing, and talking. What better way to wind down on a steamy Florida night than to slip into a bathing suit and into a warm pool full of old friends and new? Our party is at night and the pool area will only be open to our group. We will also be having live music from the top voted Steel Drum Band in Orlando. Break out the suits and beach balls, it's pool party time!

10:30a - 12:00p   Strategies for Health
Health issues such as sleep apnea, diabetes, lymphedema, or other chronic conditions can be challenging, but there’s no need to go it alone. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or you’ve been dealing with this stuff for years, come share your tips for taking care of yourself in a fat-positive way.

10:30a - 12:00p   Don’t Settle: Knowing and Finding What You Want
In this group, we’ll tackle both men's and women’s issues with the realities of relationships in the fat world. Topics will include figuring out what you want from a relationship, maintaining your sense of self, identifying potential incompatibilities, and knowing it’s okay to walk away if it’s not right. Bring all suggestions and questions you may have and be ready for a wide range of opinions – this one applies to everyone, regardless of your current relationship status.

12:15p - 2:15p*   Buffet Luncheon & Fun Game
Want to play a game? Want to outwit and outplay and possibly be in for surprising twists and turns? It's our mystery lunch games!! You'll be quizzed, or have a skill tested, or maybe get a little messy? You just never know what we'll throw your way. Keep in mind that we know that many may be dealing with limited mobility and we always try our best to find ways for everyone to participate, so this isn't the Olympics or Fear Factor - it's Fattie Fun! During this time we'll have a great buffet lunch (full menu at bottom of page). For later arriving attendees, this will be their first event - so make sure you come out to welcome them! :D *Please arrive on time for all meal events.

This mixer gives those who love fat people a chance to talk amongst themselves about the challenges and rewards of being an FA.

4:00p - 6:00p      Supersized Perspectives
This is a workshop in two parts: for the first hour, supersized women and those who are in a relationship with a supersized woman (or want to be) will meet in two separate groups. We’ll talk about issues such as hygiene, mobility, medical care, and communication, from our own perspectives. We’ll try to compile a list of resources and tips for people in similar situations.
