Participant-shaped rope and kink unconference created by Graydancer in 2007. Its Open Space format let attendees build each gathering's programme around the knowledge they wanted to share, with rope alongside consent, power exchange, photography and other community topics. By 2013 Graydancer reported 36 editions; later biographies describe more than 50 events across five countries. A 2022 successor announcement described GRUE as being on a long hiatus rather than presenting a new edition.
