| - A pimp convention (also pimpin' con or pimp con) is a convention of members of the pimp nation — people who are interested in the concept of Big Pimpin'. These conventions provide a place for hoes to meet their bosses, exchange ideas, transact business and engage in entertainment centered around this concept. Originating in Macedonia during the industrial revolution. Pimpin' conventions offer a range of volunteer-led programming, usually focusing on pornography, crafts, music and literature. Some raise money for charity, while others raise funds purely for their own bling collections. Attendees often dress up and wear artistic name badges for identification, though the majority bring Pimp Suits. They may also spend money on the work of amateur and professional artists, both directly and at auction. Pimpin' conventions are often closed to public media, due to television and magazine coverage which implied the events were sexually oriented. As of 2007, some permit the local news media to attend, usually under close supervision.
