OTTAWA, Canada – COTR continued its commitment to sexual wellness education and community engagement as its premium pleasure brands, Le Wand and b-Vibe, served as presenting sponsors of the CLIMAX Sexual Wellness & Intimacy Conference, held Sunday, Oct. 25, at the Infinity Convention Centre in Ottawa, Canada.
Bringing together sex educators, wellness professionals, pleasure brands and curious consumers, the one-day conference offered an engaging mix of expert-led discussions, interactive workshops, live performances and a curated marketplace, all designed to encourage open conversations about pleasure, relationships and sexual well-being.
“Education has always been at the heart of what we do, so supporting an event like CLIMAX was a natural fit for us,” said Alicia Sinclair, founder and CEO of COTR. “It’s exciting to see events creating welcoming spaces where people can ask questions, discover new possibilities and feel more confident exploring their sexuality. Through Le Wand and b-Vibe, we’re proud to support initiatives that make conversations about pleasure more accessible, inclusive and fun.”
The participation also underscored COTR’s ongoing efforts to connect with sexual wellness communities beyond traditional industry trade events, supporting opportunities for consumers to engage directly with educators, brands and resources that encourage informed exploration.
“Events like CLIMAX are helping change the way people approach sexual wellness,” Sinclair added. “We’re thrilled to be part of a growing movement that celebrates curiosity, community and pleasure as important parts of overall well-being.”
Founded by sex educators Natalia Jaczkowski and Madelaine Dorion, CLIMAX aims to make sexual wellness education more accessible, inclusive and approachable. Following its inaugural year, the conference expanded in 2026 with a larger venue, additional programming and a growing community of educators and wellness advocates.
“COTR was such a natural fit for CLIMAX because our brands share a commitment to making sexual wellness approachable, fun and playful,” Jackowski and Dorion said. “Their presence brought an extra layer of excitement and engagement to the conference, while also enriching the educational experience. We especially loved seeing our speakers incorporate COTR products into their sessions, helping bring conversations about pleasure and sexual wellness to life in tangible, accessible ways. It’s partnerships like these that help us make sex education not only informative, but engaging, empowering, and fun!”
