VENUE: Green Door Studio in Hamilton, Ontario
We are excited to invite you to the first annual Ontario Suscon in Hamilton, Ontario, from March 28th to March 31st, 2025.
This unique four-day event brings together body suspension practitioners and suspension enthusiasts from across the globe to learn from one another, collaborate, and explore body suspension in a safe and supportive environment.
Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the suspension community, this event offers a transformative experience with workshops led by some of the most experienced practitioners in our community and experts outside of our community.
In addition to workshops, there will be plenty of time on the suspension floor to learn in a hands-on, collaborative way. This safe and supportive environment allows us to learn from one another and work together.

VENUE: GREEN DOOR STUDIOS, HAMILTON
We are thrilled to host Ontario Suscon 2025 at the Green Door Studios at 1016 Upper Wellington St. in Hamilton Ontario. This huge production space boasts 15 ft of vertical height from floor to bottom truss and over 6800 square feet between the two adjoining studios.
The suspension floor will accommodate seven suspension points, and we will have two cubes on site, allowing for plenty of dynamic and static suspensions to happen throughout the weekend.
In addition to the two studio floors, there is a large lounge/chill space (800 sq ft. in size) at the front of Studio A. All this to say — there is plenty of open space for us to work on suspensions together!
WORKSHOPS
Workshops run each day from 9:30 AM - 1:30 PM
We will be facilitating workshops each day of the Suscon and providing more details about those workshops and the people facilitating those workshops over the next month. Please See the 2025 Ontario Suscon Facebook Event Page for more information and updates about the Workshops as they are released.
SUSPENSIONS
The Suspension Floor is open each day from 1:30 PM – 10:30 PM
Once you've completed registration, you'll have access to the Suscon Attendee's Facebook Community, and you'll be able to engage in discussions with other practitioners and event attendees to plan specific suspensions you'd like to do and/or work on.
If you are planning a suspension that requires special attention or multiple practitioners, please notify us via email before registering to confirm whether it is possible to accommodate your request. You can email us at ontario.suspensions@gmail.com.
BILLETING & ACCOMMODATIONS
We do have a hotel block at The Laundry Room Suites in Hamilton; however, we can offer several hotel accommodation suggestions within a 5 - 10 minute drive of the venue, and we can help arrange billeting support to connect event attendees with Airbnb rentals close to the venue.
FOOD & DRINK
Meals are not included in the event registration cost, but there are a few options near the venue, and food can be ordered and delivered to the venue easily. Event volunteers can help make suggestions based on preferences and dietary restrictions.
HOOKS & SUSPENSION GEAR
Hooks and shackles will be provided for most suspensions.
Please Note: The hooks that we provide have been used before and have been processed and sterilized by members of the OSC. If you have concerns about using shared equipment or would prefer to bring your sterile gear, please email us in advance.
We strongly encourage you to bring your own fully locking hooks and to ensure that they are properly packaged and processed and that the sterile packaging has not been compromised. For information on travelling with hooks and suggestions on preventing packaged hooks from being compromised, please read through the Event Info Package, which will be sent out after your deposit has been paid.
Fully locking hooks must be used in any suspensions where it is the safest option and deemed necessary/
HEALTH & SAFETY
The 2025 Ontario Suscon Info Package will contain links to our Event Protocols, Code of Conduct and Health and Safety Guidelines.

*Please note: While we will strive to ensure everybody who wants to suspend twice can suspend twice, we cannot guarantee it. This event is an educational, learning-focused event, and as such, we are earmarking a significant amount of time toward classes. All attendees will have an opportunity to suspend at least once and we hope to be able to accommodate everyone who has a desire to go up twice during the course of the Suscon.
