The IPIA (International Pole Industry Association®) is a trade association focused on the pole industry.
A trade association is a type of organization that supports people engaged in the same industry or type of work.
In a pole context, this means everyone and anyone who makes all or part of their living through pole dancing, including:
- Pole Instructors
- Pole Studio Owners
- Pole Performers
- Strippers/SWers
- Pole Businesses (like apparel, grip, events, etc)
The IPIA provides text-based educational resources for how to start a business or improve an existing business. Many of these are free!
There are also monthly webinars on topics relevant to pole businesses free to members and $5 for non-members.
IPIA also provides discounts on things relevant to pole businesses for IPIA members like equipment and continuing education. Liquid Motion® is a partner and offers a discount off certifications to IPIA members!
Finally, it provides networking opportunities at events like PoleCon!
COMING SOON: a jobs board free for members to post jobs and free for anyone to respond to jobs.
We want you to know your pole business can support your life goals. That you can run a successful and sustainable business. That you can continue to love your business and pole for years to come.
