JustFor.fans Adds a Fifth Day to Its 2027 Conference — And a New Way for Models to Attend

James Taylor · 2026-09-23

JustFor.fans (JFF) just announced that its 9th Anniversary Conference will run from May 2-6, 2027, in Palm Springs. That's a full five days — one more than last year. And if you're a model, that extra day could mean more time to connect, collaborate, and actually enjoy the desert vibe. But the bigger news? JFF is rolling out a new sponsorship program that gives the community two clear ways to help models get there. ### What's New for 2027 Last year's conference brought together more than 400 models from around the world. It was a massive turnout. So for 2027, JFF is making it easier for even more people to join. Here's how the sponsorship works: - **Personalized links:** Models can share a unique link that lets fans, fellow models, or any JFF user buy a conference ticket directly for them. - **Anonymous scholarships:** Models who need financial help can apply privately for a scholarship. No one has to know. - **General donations:** Fans can also buy a ticket without picking a specific model. JFF will award those tickets to someone on the scholarship list. And if you sponsor a ticket? You get a Conference Sponsor badge. A small token, but a nice nod to the people who make it happen. ### Why This Matters JFF founder Dominic Ford put it simply: "Every year, we learn more about what our models value and how we can make this event even better for them." He added: "The extra time gives everyone more opportunity to work, meet people and enjoy Palm Springs, while these sponsorship options give our community two meaningful ways to help someone attend — whether that means supporting a specific model or helping someone who has quietly asked for assistance. I love seeing our community show up for each other like this." That last part — "quietly asked for assistance" — is key. Not everyone wants to announce they need help. The anonymous scholarship option respects that. It's a thoughtful touch that says a lot about the community JFF is trying to build. ### What to Expect in Palm Springs Palm Springs in early May? Expect warm days (think 90s°F) and cool nights. The conference itself will likely feature networking events, workshops, and plenty of informal hangouts. Last year's attendees raved about the connections they made. With an extra day, there's more room for all of it. More time to shoot content. More time to meet collaborators. More time to just relax by the pool and talk shop. ### How to Get Involved Registration details, programming, and sponsorship info will be announced as plans develop. For now, if you're a model, start thinking about whether you want to share a personalized link. If you're a fan, consider buying a ticket to support someone who might not otherwise make it. Either way, this is a chance to be part of something that's growing — and to help someone else be part of it too. Stay tuned to JustFor.fans for updates.
