Come one, come all! We welcome you to the glorious exhibition of latex that we have all been waiting for... SLICK 2023! Join us for a week of shiny, lubey, slippery goodness, with seven events spread over five days. The week kicks off with a rubbery welcome drink at The Laird Hotel. We welcome all of our community to join us and prepare yourselves for the kinky week ahead.

Let the fun continue, with our good friend, the multi-talented homosexual Dean Acruri hosting Trivial Hirsuite - the Slick edition. Team up and enjoy a spectacular trivia night like no other, with current pop-culture references, throwbacks, nostalgia and the most electric queer quiz you may ever attend, with a rubber twist!

Have you ever thought about getting into latex but don't know where to start? This event is specifically designed for our newcomers! We want to welcome you with open arms to an important part of our community, Eagle Leather! This is an event specifically designed for those of you wanting to start your rubber journey.

Melbourne Rubber is taking over The Laird Hotel’s regular Spit + Polish Thursday night for a carnival of rubbery goodness. Join your community and display your rubber looks as we get to know our contestants for Melbourne Rubberman 2023. Mingle with fellow rubberists over a few drinks in lead up to Friday’s competition night.

For all our visitors, whether they be from regional VIC, interstate, or even overseas, we would like to invite you to a welcome brunch hosted by the Melbourne Rubber Committee. Whether you’ve been visiting us since the start of Slick, or it is your first ever time in Melbourne, come and grab a bite to eat and get to some locals.

Tonight will be one for the ages. We welcome you to our much anticipated Melbourne Rubberman competition night for 2023. Join us for a night of talent, fashion, shine, and all things fetish. It’s time to crown a new winner! The next Melbourne Rubberman will represent the values and lifestyle of the Melbourne Rubber community at home, interstate, and even overseas.

Ever wanted to know how to fix that little tear or hole in your latex, so you can get more wear out of your collection?

In this class you will learn the basics of rubber repair, what chemicals you'll need and how to use them, and you'll get a chance to do a basic repair on a tear yourself on a piece of latex (provided).

Please note this workshop is STRICTLY 8 attendees only.

Melbourne Rubber is rolling up with a new circus themed SLICK this September, and the carnival ravers at BARBA are joining the festivities once again to host the official Saturday after party... prepare for balloon pups, colourful circus creatures, high flying antics and the delicious crack of the ringmasters whip.

SQUEAK 2023 is set to be a bouncing, bulging dance party and social event where we can come together in a safe, welcoming space for a night of community, expression and sweaty fun!

Join our rubber family to wrap up Slick 2023 at UBQ for a relaxing Sunday wind-down and one last dance before heading back to reality. We want to celebrate our amazing community for being with us for the week, and share a drink, a hug, and the afterglow of a week of rubber. This year we welcome VicPaH to co-host our rubdown event.
