Gazatteer’s first ever Chat Room event will focus on love (and sex and dating) in the San Francisco Bay Area.  This is a very interactive event, with an emphasis on audience participation and feedback. This is not your average, boring conference slate of panel discussions.

Don’t miss this unique evening hosted by the vivacious Jillian Gnarling, featuring drag queen performances and engaging discussions on love, sex, and tech.

Highlights include a discussion about modern love with Elizabeth Dell, founder of the romance app Amorus; a lively Q&A with renowned sexologists Carol Queen and David Khalili; Anna Lee, founder of Lioness, on AI-powered orgasms and smart vibrators, and free-flowing beer and wine.

About Chat Room: Love

The lovely and vivacious Jillian Gnarling will act as mistress of ceremonies for the evening, which will feature performances by local drag queens to be announced. There will be a 10-minute break between each segment.

Modern Romance in San Francisco (30 minutes)
Gazetteer SF culture reporter Joshua Bote interviews Elizabeth Dell, founder and CEO of romance app Amorus, on finding love in the Bay in 2024. Dell is also a film producer, with credits including Destination Wedding starring Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder.

Ask a Sexologist! (30 minutes)
Let’s get the crowd involved, shall we? Sexologists Carol Queen and David Khalili will answer your most intimate or vanilla or clueless or raunchy sex questions that you’ve ever wanted to ask… but perhaps been too scared? Don’t be shy. Questions can be asked in person by attendees, or via text message by anyone at (415) 787-6570.

Carol Queen, legendary SF author, sociologist, and a leader of the sex-positive feminism movement, is also the resident sexologist at the Good Vibrations sex toy shop empire.

David Khalili founded Rouse Relational Wellness in 2021 to address the shame and anxiety that show up all too often in sex and relationships, and is a licensed marriage and family therapist and board-certified sexologist.

AI-powered orgasms (30 minutes)
Yes, you read that right. Anna Lee, founder of sex tech company Lioness, will join Gazetteer SF business and tech reporter Megan Rose Dickey in conversation about the sex tech industry, smart vibrators and using AI to track and improve orgasms.

About Gazetteer

We believe the core reason why the media industry is failing is due to the pernicious influence of large tech platforms on the way news is distributed and commercialized.

If you are tired of the way that algorithms affect the media you consume online and want to read original stories produced by humans about San Francisco, we humbly invite you to subscribe to Gazetteer SF.
